Please could anyone else tell me if they suffered with excessive amniotic
fluid ? Whilst i was at the hospital last week at 25 weeks i was measuring
32
weeks and feel even bigger this week. Apart from the risk of premature
labour
are there any other risks with this ?
I had a ton of extra fluid. My naturopath did give me something to help
with the retention that continued into the rest of body. You could push your
finger into my skin and it would stay depressed for a few seconds and slowly
fill up again....very nice!
I did not have any problems and my midwife was not concerned. She did
describe Michael's birth as the wettest one she ever attended. My bed sheets
were
soaked as well as my dh and I. She told us Michael rode out on a wave!
Have you had a sonogram to make sure the baby is swallowing and passing
fluid?
