Amniotic fluid/depth pool water query

[williwonti]

Had scan monday. Got home and noticed my waters/pool depth said 3.7 (i'm 36+1). It has always been mid 5s before. Is that ok? No-one said it wasn't but always so busy there i wonder if they noticed! When i google it, it seems low but like say, wouldn't they have noticed. Any ideas?

lol I actually thought for a moment you meant swimming pool, took a moment to get my head round that!

Sorry I don't know the answer but If they were concerned they would be re-scanning and talking about induction. If your worried ring your mw

Im sure as the baby gets bigger the fluid will reduce, if its gets low (As mine did with dc1) they will do as I mentioned above. hth

my scan reports have a bit at the top that says "fluid levels:" followed in my case by "raised" but could also say "low" or "normal". Does yours have similar?

Yes, it says normal, just wondered as was 5.6 4 weeks before. Think ut might just be low side if normal..

levels fluctuate I think, and as you get further on theres more baby and less room for anything else. If it says normal and you haven't been referred on then I wouldn't worry.

Levels peak at about 32-34 weeks. I'm being rescanned next week at 34 weeks as I have lots of fluid...

Thanks all. Rang hospital who booked a scan but called mw who said it is fine. Will cancel scan as think it was a an over-helpful receptionist.
