Anyone else on the "high end" of normal when it comes to amniotic fluid?

I am measuring normally but Baby has a lot of fluid. Doc is sending me for another U/S next week. Just wondering if anyone else is going or went through this...

TIA :)

    I'm measuring right on as well, when i had my Growth ultrasound the other day the doctor said that my fluid level looks great and i'm actually on the high side.  She didn't seem concerned though.

    I'm on the high end of normal, but I was just diagnosed with GD and am also growing a huge baby, so the extra fluid is probably due to that.  I'm not sure when having too much fluid becomes a problem.

    Mine was measuring 25.3 (just a tad over the norm) at 30 weeks and I'm going back for another u/s at 34 weeks. Belly is measuring 3 weeks ahead because of this and baby was measuring in the 75th percentile.

    I have a ton of fluid too. My midwife isn't concerned, but said that's why I look so big. I was happy to hear that because everyone is saying how huge I look and now I know that it's not because I'm fat or baby is 12 lbs. It might make baby have a harder time dropping into the pelvis but not necessarily. Also it means baby can move around a lot still, whereas a lot of babies at this point aren't able to move as much.

    I went through something similiar, I was measuring about 4-5 weeks ahead and had way too much fluid (32-34 range and i guess they dont like more than 25). I dont have any GD but baby is weighing in the 83rd percentile... Things have balanced out for me somewhat now... the fluid has come down to 26/27 range and while baby is still a little bigger than average my measurements are right on. Now the drs dont seem too worried except that I'm at a much higher risk for pre-term labor.

    Best of Luck! :)
