Low amniotic fluid

in 2nd Trimester
I'm 17 weeks. Went to doctor yesterday for ultrasound. Baby looks great but my amniotic fluid is low (7.5). Doctor said not to worry right now but it should be 10. Any one else or suggestions? I'm worried.

    Suggestions for what? 

    If you have additional questions or concerns, and if you're wanting "suggestions", I highly recommend that you call your doctor since s/he knows your case personally. 

    I'm very sorry that you're worried, but you really need to be speaking to your doctor about those concerns.

    Hi there, I'm sorry your feeling this way. Although I'm not in this situation myself right now, I was concerned about this (had a previous loss-but not from low fluid) and was talking to my doctor about it a week ago. She told me Theres not much you can do other than just make sure your not leaking fluid and make sure your drinking lots (some woman don't produce enough) !
    If you go to the high risk category and type in low fluid you will find LOTS of woman that have been through this with different tips :) stay positive, pregnancy is so stressful!!

    My SIL @ around 27 weeks was put on bed rest for low fluid. Hers would range between 3-5. MShe had to go to the dr ever other day for non stress test and us to check the fluid levels. She spent a few days a week In The hospital getting iv fluids. At home she was only allowed to go to the rest room, get food, lay back down. Her fluid went up to a 5. At 34w her fluid was less than 1 and she had a c section a few hours later. The biggest thing they stressed was to drink a LOT of water and bed rest.

    If you are worried call your dr back and ask what exactly you can do.

    I'm so sorry you are going through extra worry. Trust your dr they would tell you if you should be concerned. Extra water never hurts as its great for bodies all around. Hoping you are able to find some peace but if you are truly worried call your dr and talk about it I'm sure they can bring you some peace of mind or give you suggestions if there are any!
