BTDT low amniotic fluid

I am 22 weeks and at my AS last week it was determined that my amniotic fluid is low. They had me go back in 3 days later for another US and it was a little better but still low. I am going to a perinatologist Tues.
I am just wondering, for those who have had this, what was done for the remainder of the pregnancy? How did everything turn out? Anybody have this and everything turned out fine?
TIA!

Re: BTDT low amniotic fluid

  • I had low fluid with DD but it was discovered a bit later 28 weeks maybe. I had NSTs twice a week and fluid checks once a week. My doctor was awesome at telling me not to worry until there was something to worry aboutand there never was!

    She was born at 39 weeks, 6lbs 13 oz and perfect. Being early not that 39 weeks is early had nothing to do with the fluid level.

  • My fluid was dangerously low with my youngest DD. I had to go in once a week for the duration of my pregnancy for ultrasound checks to monitor the level. They said if it dropped any more they'd have to deliver her early, but luckily, while the fluid never increased much, it didn't decrease either. She came on her own 12 days before my due date and was perfectly healthy and weighed 6lbs 4oz.

  • Thanks ladies, I appreciate the feedback. I will find out more tomorrow at my appointment but this gives me some info on what to expect.
  • I had my regular appointment today and am measure small again, I have a feeling I am going to be in the Low-Amniotic-Fluid boat with you. (Although the doctor isn't looking into it yet, she said we will wait to see my measurements next time.)

     Keep us posted!

  • Updateperinatologist said everything looked fine and no need for a follow up with him. Huge relief! Hope you get good news too, Niki!
