Hi everyone,

Had a scan and clinic today. Baby is fine all measuring normal, but I have raised levels of water. The obs didn't seem too concerned about it but it is worrying me a little. Has anyone else had this and if so what happened ? I have one more scan and clinic appointment on 19th July, when I will be 37 weeks.

I also have my date for induction, 26th July! It's all VERY real now!

Not long to go then! 🙂 My babies both had a small swiming pool lol, got quite sick of the 'is it twins' comments! I think it's not unusual for diabetic mums. I don't think it's normally a major issue on it's own.

All the best! 🙂
 
I had 2 litres of amniotic fluid. It did not cause any problems apart from me being quite uncomfortable. Also I had reduced feeling of movements, I never had the foot kicking you In the ribs problem. I am v glad my waters did not break.in public, it just kept on coming. Nathan loved baths and swimming, but screamed blue murder if we tried to swadle him. I guess he was used to his own personal spacious pool with lots of space for wriggling about.
 
I've got a feeling it's fairly normal in diabetic pregnancies, but can't add more. Hopefully you're being rescanned etc before long and they'll keep an eye on it for you.
 
Thanks everyone, you have made me feel a lot better!

I am being re scanned at 37 weeks so hopefully all will be ok then x
