My doc keeps mentioning fluid levels in my scans and i just nod but dont fully samajh what it means. Can someone explain in simple words na? Thoda tension ho raha hai.
It is amniotic fluid, the 'paani' around the baby. My levels dropped severely in the 8th month, so please make sure your doctor measures your AFI (amniotic fluid index) during scans.
It refers to the amniotic fluid, which is the water cushioning your baby. During my GD pregnancy, doctors closely monitored this level because high sugar can sometimes increase fluid levels too much.
I am planning my pregnancy and reading about this too! It is the amniotic fluid that surrounds and protects the baby in the womb. It's so amazing how the body manages all this.
It's simply amniotic fluid, basically the liquid cushion inside the womb. Your gynac will measure its index (AFI) in ultrasounds to ensure it's in the safe range.
I felt so emotional when my doctor first showed me the fluid on the scan. It is the warm amniotic fluid that keeps our little babies safe and comfy inside. Truly a beautiful thing.
