I practically lived on fresh coconut water and buttermilk to keep my fluids up! Keep drinking water and maybe try some fresh juices too.

With two babies, keeping fluid levels up was a full-time job! I drank 3-4 liters of water daily, but seriously, keep your doctor in the loop.

I had low fluid issues too and had to eventually go for a C-section. Pls drink lots of water and strictly follow whatever your doctor suggests.

Low fluid might mean extra scans which can add to the budget. Best to prevent it by drinking lots of simple home-made buttermilk and plain water.

My mother-in-law used to give me fresh coconut water every single morning. Try to rest well on your left side too, it helps blood flow.

I know how stressful it is to hear your fluid is low. Keep hydrating yourself and trust your body, you're doing great.

Drinking plenty of water, coconut water, and L-arginine sachets (if prescribed) can help. But low fluid must be monitored closely by your gynac.

Hydration is key, dear. Drink water, barley water, and take plenty of bed rest as lying on the left side improves circulation.

My team at Fortis was very strict about my hydration levels. Ask your doctor clearly if you need any IV fluids or specific supplements.

I literally had a bottle of water next to me 24/7. My doctor also suggested left-side sleeping which really helped improve my fluid levels.
