growth scan update

Well I wrote a post this morning, had my growth scan and its not the good news I wanted! My baby has barely any amniotic fluid hence why im measuring so small. Going to see a consultant first thing tomorrow to sort out a plan and hopefully find out why. Looking like weekly scans to make sure my baby is ok! I'm so worried if it doesn't improve il be having her early which I didn't want she's only 3lb12oz now.
