  Do you mean high amniotic fluid? I did not know I had on the high side of normal until it went higher then normal at 39 weeks and the Mfm decided to induce. Ds was born healthy. I think the complications can come during delivery so they induced so they could closely monitor me. I think the risk is the cord coming out before the baby. Don't google it makes everything sound worse.

  yes the amniotic fluid is high and yes I did google it the other day and ended up crying all night to my husband, I am at 31 weeks right now so my docs are monitoring it. Neither one is overly concerned but I am scared a bit. You said your baby was born healthy! That is a relief! Thanks for replying!

  I had a lot of extra fluid (Polyhydramnios) with my DS.  I was put on bed rest at 32 weeks because it was causing contractions, not just braxton hicks.  I had NSTs 2 times a week because I was unable to feel him kick.  I ended up carrying him until i was 37 weeks.  

  
  

  PS- This may be TMI, but make sure you have a waterproof mattress pad!  When my water broke with him it was WAY MORE than with my DD.

  One of my twins did and all is well. I worried too but its pretty common. I did have my twins at 32 wks 6days though but it was due tp preeclampsia.

  I was high risk for other reasons and was already on bed rest. My dh though said it was like a water explosion when the Ob broke my water the ds came flying out then another huge gush of water.
