37 app f/u low fluids

JessicaG56

So I went to dr today and she thought my fluids were a 9 which is better then the 7 we thought Friday. So we did a nst to make sure lil miss was ok. She scored perfect, which is great! I was 2-3 dilated and still around 60%. I go back wed for another check up and to schedule another nst. My next app after that is Monday and she is going to strip me then. I heard she is very successful so I guess this might be my last week with an inside baby!

I'm glad LO is okay and horray for making it so long. I feel like you have been on the verge of labor for weeks now!!

Side note: When I had my last u/s my fluid measured a 9. When they delivered DD there was NO fluid. None! The doctor and nurse said they have never seen anything like it. (very rare then I guess, so I wouldnt worry about it, just funny)

Ya I was a 7 on Friday so it has went up a bit. Part of me just wants to get the show on the rd bc I am scared if her fluids keep dropping. They made a drastic drop from last Monday to Friday. My aunt was a 12 one day and two days later was a 3. Instantly delivery. So I just want her to be ok! I can tell fluid is low bc it freaking hurts really bad now when she moves! I am hoping maybe her checking me today will help! Maybe go home tonight and have some sex lol

Glad to hear she passed the NST. 

I am leaving in a few minutes for my weekly f/up with my MFM. Fluid levels were a 7, 2 Thursdays ago, then a 9 a week ago (after consuming 2 gallons a day for the weekend!).  I'm hoping that my 2 gallon water intake over this last week will lead to good news. :crosses fingers:  I have another NST today too

And the fluid measurements are very subjective...as you can see from Elisbu's comment above.  I hear that it's the most subjective measurement they can take these days.  Which doesn't help my stress level that's for sure!!

Yes good luck! It's all about what that person scanning thinks is a good pocket to measure. She measured around the cord some so that was kinda iffy. I guess you just have to have faith in the drs!

Sounds like everything is good for now!  Keep that lil miss in there for a while longer.
