I’m 32+5 and had a private scan yesterday, for reassurance more than anything else. Scan showed baby is fine, growth in line with predicted curve (albeit 14th percentile 😕) and placenta functioning well. However she noted my amniotic fluid is lower than she’d like at 8.93 AFI and referred me to the hospital for monitoring.
The hospital asked me to head in for an assessment, checked my obs, and hooked us up for movement monitoring, all of which were fine. They said to them 8.93 wasn’t a concern (I’ve read between both 8 and 18 and 5 and 20 are considered normal, so appreciate I’m more likely borderline low at this stage rather than low low) but as I was there already they’d do an internal check which showed my cervix was still posterior facing and closed and the swab for amniotic fluid came back negative. I asked if I needed to have another scan in a couple of weeks as advised by the private sonographer and was told there was no need, however 10mins after I left I received a call from the hospital requesting I go back tomorrow for a scan so they have the findings on my records.
Until then I’m just trying to rest up and hydrate as much as possible, as admittedly I’ve not been drinking as much as I usually would recently and have probably overdone it a bit. I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar results and if so what what was the outcome? I had a miscarriage at the start of the year so have felt like I’ve been walking a tightrope with my anxiety this time around and am desperately trying not to spiral into all out panic.
