Low fluid

babyj20

Today I went for an ultrasound because my dr said my baby was under weight ! When I went they said that my amniotic fluid is low & he's under weight so they have to keep an close eye on him & I might have to have him early I'm 35 weeks& 1 day this is my first baby I very scared ! I'm drinking lots of water & doing everything I need to do to keep him healthy but I'm still scared they will have to take him so he can gain weight

I'm sorry. That sounds like a tough situation. Did you have a question?

With my dd, I had low fluid at 32 weeks (in the 5s). I was hospitalized for 8 days. They gave me steroid shots for the baby's lungs, in case they delivered me early. With being off my feet and drinking tons of water, it went over 10. I was sent home for light bed rest I was monitored every 3 days and delivered via scheduled cs at 37 weeks. You are in the home stretch now so no worries. Other than some possible time in the nicu, your lo should be fine.
