At my last scan they said amniotic fluid is on the lower side and now im honestly stressed. Im 30 weeks. Doctor asked me to drink more water but is there anything else that helps? pls share ur experience if u faced this.
Staying well hydrated is the main natural way, lots of water, coconut water, juicy fruits like watermelon. Rest also matters. If a scan showed low fluid though, your gynac should be guiding the plan, since they may want closer monitoring.
I had borderline low fluid in my third trimester. Hydration really helped, I drank water constantly and took proper rest, lying on my side. But this is something your doctor needs to track with scans, so dont manage it alone, stay in touch with them.
My amma kept reminding me to drink water and have coconut water when my fluid was on the lower side. It did help over a few days. But do keep your doctor updated na, they watch it through scans.
If you mean low amniotic fluid, my doctor told me the biggest thing is drinking plenty of water through the day, she said even 8 to 10 glasses. Coconut water and rest also help. But low fluid needs monitoring, so please follow your gynacs scans and advice closely.
