At my scan last week at 32+4, the consultant mentioned that my levels of amniotic fluid were "relatively low".
The notes say that I'm measuring 81mm on the Amnoitic Fluid Index, plotting between the 2.5th and 5th centile for gestation.
The consultant is getting me back for a follow up scan at the end of next week to measure the levels again and said not to be "unduly worried" but I'm finding it hard not to think about it! The baby is growing well, 4lb7oz current estimated weight, and is active which he said are good signs.
I'm trying to ban myself from googling -so any knowledge/experience on this subject would be much appreciated!
I've just been put back on track for a normal vaginal delivery after the hospital suspecting placenta previa for the last few months so I'm wondering also what the implications are for birth if I do have continuing low fluid levels.
I had a section with my last pregnancy and the consultant said they would not induce me due to this..
