My last scan showed my fluid is on the lower side and im 30 weeks. Gynac said keep drinking water and we will recheck, but im sitting here worrying why it even happens. Just want to understand the reasons. Anyone faced low fluid?
I had low fluid in my third trimester and it did worry me. The doctor told me to up my water intake and rest, and she monitored me closely. Please dont leave this to guesswork, low fluid needs proper doctor follow up.
My doctor explained it can happen for a few reasons, like the baby not making enough urine, placenta not working at its best, or water leaking. They keep an eye on it with scans, so if urs is low, follow whatever monitoring ur gynac suggests.
There can be many reasons, sometimes dehydration, sometimes placenta related, sometimes nearing due date it naturally reduces a bit. Dont scare yourself, your gynac will tell you the actual cause from your scans.
Honestly the causes vary a lot, so generic answers wont help much here. Best is to ask your doctor what your specific scan showed. Drinking enough water is one simple thing they usually advise though.
