polyhydramnios

amjohnson0407

I was just diagnosed with mild polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). The OB said that I am really close to be a moderate case. If that is the case then I will be induced 2 weeks early as opposed to the one week that I am already scheduled for. 

 Is anyone else going through this??

I had this with my last pregnancy. I ended up getting induced at 38 weeks. It was amazing how much relief I felt after they broke my water even before giving birth!

I had severe polyhydramnios with my last pregnancy (55cm of fluid) and had to deliver at 37 weeks with no complications. I have it again this pregnancy (44cm) and will probably be delivering at 38weeks. It’s ridiculously uncomfortable. In my case it’s idiopathic-no gastrointestinal blockage or gestational diabetes as underlying causes. Just have big babies and big babies pee more.
