Google is not my friend!

I always say I'm not going to do it, but I always cave!

I made the mistake of googling low amniotic fluid levels and causes. Well, that wasn't a great idea! There are a few non threatening things on the list, but there are some pretty serious things on the list too! My guess is that I was a little dehydrated from being sick and hopefully that is it.

I also learned from that research, and I don't know why I never thought of it before, but that the amniotic fluid is replenished by the baby urinating! I always knew that babies drink amniotic fluid, but I never thought of it coming back out! So, babies drink their own pee for half your pregnancy?!haha This made me laugh and sort of grossed me out all at the same time!

    I am sure you were just dehydrated. Go get some juices and a BPA free water bottle. Keep it full at all times!!

    I've been sick and water just doesn't sound good, so I've been mixing half juice/half water. Good Luck, get it back up mama!

    My DH thought it was super funny that baby was peeing in me, till my doctor told him that babies kidneys don't function till birth so what ever baby takes in, it comes out in the exact same form: amniotic fluid!

    That makes me less grossed out! The article I read didn't include all of the information. This would have been helpful!

    My doctor and husband have banned me from googling.  I'm a serious googler, but end up finding out WAY more than I really need to know and either freak or gross myself out in the process.

    My docor and DH also banned me from googling. There's just too much out there to scare a person, everyone's had a horror story or their friends, or a friend of a friend. In the end, your Dr will know best and if it comes down to it, just ask them. That was a lesson I had to learn :)

    Just stay away from google.  I was awake at 4am last night googling "marginal placenta previa" and of course there are horror stories.

    Pee, baby, pee!
