At my last checkup the gynac mentioned my fluid levels need to be watched and now im a bit anxious. Im 7 months. Can this fluid actually go down and what causes it? planning to ask her in detail next visit but wanted to hear from others too.
It can reduce, and the cause and management really depend on your case and how far along you are. Drinking enough water is often advised, but this is one thing you must let your gynac guide, regular scans are key here. Dont rely on internet tips for this.
Yes it can reduce, mine was on the lower side in third trimester. Please dont take this lightly, low amniotic fluid needs proper monitoring by your gynac. Mine put me on more rest, extra water and frequent scans. Follow your doctor closely on this one.
Yes it's possible for it to be low, but try not to panic. Doctors monitor it closely with scans and guide you, many babies are perfectly fine with proper care. Keep yourself hydrated and go for all your checkups, that matters most.
My doctor explained low fluid is called oligohydramnios, and it can happen for various reasons. She said staying well hydrated sometimes helps and they keep a close watch with scans. Definitely a doctor-managed thing, not something to home remedy.
