low fluid (repeat from 3rd tri)

in July 2012 Moms
I have low amnicotic fluid and I am drinking as much water as I can and repeating the ultrasound on Wednesday. I was just wondering how many of you that have had this issue were able to bring the level back up to where it should be. FWIW my numbers are 6.5 and if it gets down to 5 then they will probably have to take him out. They want the numbers between 8 and 20. He is measuring small at 3lbs 10oz so I guess I am just hoping that drinking this water is really gonna help keep him in as long as possible. Thanks ladies!

    Popping over from July 2011. I had boarder line low fluid around this Time last year. Rest and drinking lots of fluids helped. I found that coconut water helped the most. I drank one container a day. I was cleared for work after a week rest but then I over did it and was back on rest at 6 weeks until I was induced at 38 weeks because of paracentric cord insertion. Hope this helps.

    I am glad the water helped you, but I am sooo sorry you were on bed rest. All of you ladies on bed rest are my heros! I could not even imagine. I would probably go into labor from the stess of being on bed rest. I am soooo glad to hear you made it to 38 weeks! You are awesome! FWIW I HATE coconut, but like any mom I will do whatever works best and try to love every second of drinking it. =)

    I made a typo. I ended up back on bed rest at 36 weeks until 38 weeks. 

    Watermelon helped too :)
