Dr. Told me I had decreased amniotic fluid?

Question

Today, I had an ultrasound and a visit to the doctor. During my ultrasound, the technician told me I had a decrease in amniotic fluid. I am high risk due to an oblation I had last year, currently, I am 32 weeks along. It has been a really hard pregnancy, but I am determined to have this child. My baby has been monitored every 2 weeks to ensure that I don't have ucreta (I spelled it wrong). Now that my fluids are low, I am a little concerned and frightened. What can I do to increase my fluids?

Answer 1

go see a doctor.

it might not be serious.

by the way how does a ultra sound person know the fluid level, is there some sort of measuring stick?

Answer 2

Drink water till you float.  

Answer 3

Push the fluids, especially water.  If you stay hydrated, you baby will stay hydrated.  Amniotic fluid is made up of baby urine, so he/she needs the fluid in their system to be able to pee it out!  So drink up!!  It is scary, but I would imagine if they didn't intervene and put you in the hospital with an IV, then they aren't overly concerned.  Hopefully, you will see improvement with you next sonogram.
