Apologies for anyone who has already read this under Medical Conditions, just posting in as many groups as possible to get as much advice as we can:


Hi everyone
Writing this post to get some advice for a girlfriend of mine. She is 19 weeks with 2nd bub (a week ahead of me) and has been told last week and again today after follow up appt that she has very little amniotic fluid. The baby is still growing and active but doesn't have the cushion of the fluid to float around in nor for the lungs and kidneys to continue developing. At the moment they will be having another scan in 2 weeks to see how things are going but have been told that the pregnancy could continue to full term but that the baby will have severe complications and will not survive. Also that mum and baby are at risk of infection.



On googling we have read that bed rest and increasing fluid intake can sometimes help, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this so early in pregnancy and what was your outcome?

Were you able to increase your amniotic fluid at all? The drs have told here there is not much she can do but we're wanting to do something! Anything! Just not nothing!

Thanks
