Stomach not showing much amniotic fluid at 20 week scan

[marybarton88]

Hi,
I had my 20 week ultrasound scan yesterday (actually closer to 21 weeks) and everything appeared healthy and the baby was a good size, but at the end of the scan the sonographer said she wasnt happy with the amount of amniotic fluid that had passed into the baby's stomach during the course of the scan and that she would have expected to see more. i have been referred to fetal medicine for a follow up scan in 10 days time. im trying hard not to worry, but cant help but question what this could mean? if anyone has any helpful info or has been in a similar position, i would be greatful. 10 days seems like a long time to wait at the moment!
Thanks

Drinking alot of water will help, the baby will pee more which will raise the levels. Low levies can be bad in the baby so try drinking more before the follow up

I am 33 weeks. I have been contracting, but got them to slow way down with oral medication.
I now have to go to appointments twice a week. Today when I went in, she checked my fluid levels. She said I was okay.. but they're low for what I should be. She says to drink lots of water... but uh, I am constantly drinking water! Lol
Im not too sure what's going to happen, but you are not alone.!
Good luck!
