At my scan today the doc said my fluid is on the higher side and mentioned this word. Im 28 weeks and now a bit worried what caused it. Did anyone here have the same, what did ur gynac say?
This can happen due to high blood sugar, carrying twins, or sometimes for no specific reason at all. Try to rest well and let your doctor guide you on the next steps to take care.
Polyhydramnios is basically excess amniotic fluid, which is often linked to gestational diabetes or baby's swallowing issues. Get your glucose tolerance test done immediately and let your gynac manage it.
I was just diagnosed with mild polyhydramnios and I am feeling so scared. Did anyone else here have this condition and still manage to have a safe, normal delivery?
I was reading about this on a medical forum. Is it true that gestational diabetes is one of the most common causes of high amniotic fluid? I hope your doctor is tracking it.
This condition might mean you will need extra growth scans and regular monitoring. Plan your budget for these extra ultrasounds, and strictly follow your doctor's advice on treatment to avoid complications.
Beta, excess water in the womb can sometimes happen due to high sugar levels. Eat simple homemade food, avoid too much sweet stuff, but please make sure you ask your doctor to monitor this closely.
