fluid levels

[ButterCup17]

i'm 34+1 and have been having weekly ultrasounds for about 2 months to monitor my fluid levels. initially they were 25, which is borderline high. each week that i went they decreased, and last week they were 14. well today i went and they said they were 26! they didnt seem too worried, just told me to call if i notice any swelling. but i'm stressing out! anyone else have this? i'm just so tired of all of this worrying- it's been one thing after another this whole pregnancy- i just want him to be born (not early) so i can stop all of this worrying! not that it will necessarily stop then, but you know

Hi,

I'm 28 weeks tomorrow and had growth scan today due to my middle DD being a large baby born at 38 weeks. Growth scan shows baby measures in the 97th centile on all fronts and is fine. Fluid measurement (AFI) is 33. I have to go back in four weeks for a further scan to measure the fluids again and discuss potential treatments. Overall, they don't seem too worried and my AFI is way higher than yours! SO, I don't think you've got anything to worry about.

I had the test for GD today too - awaiting results tomorrow. Obviously if that comes back positive, there will be my reason for the high AFI, if not, I won't have a reason, but, according to the consultant, that's really common.

Obviously, I've stayed away from google - I hope you have too ) BUT, I did come on here for a wee look to see if anyone else was in the same boat so I'm not perfect!

I'm sure all will be fine for you. Enjoy the remainder of your pregnancy and try not to worry. Here to talk if you need it xx

Yeah i was tested for GD 3 times and all negative so they don't know a reason for mine, hopefully no birth defects although they aren't suggesting that either thank god! Hope things work out for us both! Thanks so much for the reply!
