High Amniotic Fluid

Wondering if anyone has had a pregnancy where their amniotic fluid was extremely high after 35 weeks of pregnancy?

I'm a lurking former High Risk preg mama.  

Not sure what you mean by "extremely high."  Mine was higher than the normal range, but maybe not "extremely high." 

I was already being monitored 3 times per week, so we followed the AFI.  After all was said and done, and my baby boy was born perfect and healthy, I believe the higher than normal AFI was because he was a larger baby.  (No, I did not have GD, on the contrary, my blood glucose ran low)...

I delivered at 37 w 6 d for this an other reasons.  He was a robust 8 lbs 2 oz.

I had high AF during the whole end of my pg.  I was being monitored for contractions since 32 weeks.  I was induced at 39 wks for "extremely" high AF. The risk from what i could tell was during birth.  The ob broke my water and my dh said it was crazy the amount that poured out.  Also with a large amount of fluid it can pull the baby out faster and he can get caught in the cord.  .My actual labor with ds2 was less then 20min with about 2 pushes.  However, ds2 was healthy and fine and 6lbs.
