High Amniotic Fluid Level
I know I don't post often, and I only post when majorly concerned about something. And I apologize for that. Last I posted a couple of months ago I was having a lot of contractions and was at risk for preterm labor. I am now 33--almost 34 weeks, and am almost out of the woods in that department (yahoo!) ..... But I have a high level of amniotic fluid. I was first diagnosed about 2 weeks ago--and it was 32 (normal is below 25).....This past Friday it was measured and went up to 37. Which is considered severe (over 35). Now, my dr is not too concerned, they are monitoring me/it VERY closely with NST/BPPs 2 times a week, but he says he really thinks it is nothing. One of the things it could be is a fetal abnormality, but dr says the things that it could be would have been found on ultrasound and weren't. The other concern is when the water breaks, it can break with a great force and cause some problems. I am terrified. Ugh, PLEASE someone tell me they have either been through this or know someone who has, and baby was born completelly healthy. Please?
