I was so focused on my contractions yesterday that I didn't think much about the fact that they need me to come back for another scan this week for excess fluid. I asked if it was a problem and the NP said no....but today I googled and did not like what I saw. Causes could be birth defects, infection, or diabetes. I'm a littler freaked since I had that weird virus back in november. Anyone else have this? Thanks.

Re: ok, now I'm freaking. polyhydramnios, anyone have this- sixres?
I did. I found out right around 36 weeks. My dr. told me that the majority of the time it comes without those other causes. It just sort of happens for no reason. I didn't have diabetes or any infections. My daughter is healthy. I did have high blood pressure and ended up with pre-eclampsia, but the dr.s swore they weren't related.
I did have a TON of water when it finally broke.... but that was it. My daughter is perfectly healthy (knock on wood). I know it's nerve racking. I think it's just a fluke most of the time.
Hang in there, you are almost done!
This was true for me with Luke too. My OB pretty much explained that it could be bc he was on the larger side or he was larger and therefore needed more water (kind of chicken or the egg). Step away from dr google though. You're 37 weeks so I would imagine that if there was some underlying issue they would have seen 'somethning' by now and if the baby were at any risk from infection or something like that thu would deliver at this point and since they're not I'm sure there's no reason to be alarmed.
Oh and yes when my water broke there was a TON of it!!

I had GD (very controlled with diet)
no other issues.
Funny thing: at my c/s, when they cut into me - apparently I squirted like a fountain. I just heard them all go "Woah!" and them the splat of water hitting the floor. Then everyone laughed.
