Amniotic fluid level

In addition to my "Big Baby" post, I was curious to know about others amniotic fluid levels. Like I mentioned, doc said I had a "generous" amount of fluid. Looking over the report, it showed AFI 26.8 cm and maximal vertical pocket 8.7 cm. Just wondering what your opinion is on the levels.

    at my last appoint on Monday, doc said my fluid from the ultrasound on Friday was a bit high at 27 and that baby was large but not too large. he's measuring a week ahead and guestimated to be 7lbs 2oz.

    I also had to start my non-stress tests that the doc wants me to do because I'm 35. These also come with a fluid check. The person doing the fluid check seemed to think it was normal yesterday and nothing was measuring above a 4 from what I could tell from the screen.

    I really think it's not much to worry about and that the fluid might fluctuate depending on how much fluid you drink. Maybe the day of your ultrasound, you drink a little more then usual? I know I did :). Doc did say they would do another fluid check at some point but not sure if the non-stress test counts for that.

    I know my midwife will do an AFI after my NST, but your situation may be different.  My fluid levels have consistently measured at 30-31.  I was told that 10-20 is normal, 21-25 is a little much, and anything over is excess.  I was diagnosed with polyhydramnios due to my fluid levels.
