my midwife shared with me today that my fluid level last u/s was 5.6. Now this could be affected by the position of the baby, or being dehydrated. Normal levels are 8+. I go back in tomorrow for another read (Im drinking about 80oz of water a day, so it better be up!!) Anyone run into this problem?

My appt went great! Baby is measuring small from the last u/s taken, which is fine - Morgan was small, so Im used to small babies weight is good, Ive gained (after loosing about 5 from the glucose diet) 20 or so lbs. This is a personal victory for me!! She actually kinda scolded me for being happy its still at 20 *grins* "Beth, calories are more important than personal victories" LOL Yes maam.....So anyways, Im now ever week. My last appt is scheduled for the day after my due date. I told the receptionist that shes cheating by doing that LOL but I guess thats how the cookie crumbles! Heres to hoping its just another 2 weeks vs going in PAST my due date

Anyways, thanks for reading

~Beth

I hope she comes soon!!!

80oz of water is great, good job! I'm perpetually thirsty from nursing and drink at least 150oz of water a day, and I used to hate water!

I hope your fluid levels go up! Man having to drink that much water plus already compressed bladder is the worst. But all for a good cause of course.

Shannon!! This droid eris is the worst predictor in the world. It's all touch screen and decides what it thinks I need to say! Not a preggo friendly phone

Sarah all they said was my fluids looked better than last time but to ask my midwife when I see her x( baby was laying in a way all we could see of her was her spine which sucks cuz daddy wanted to see the squishy baby lol he will soon enough ;-) they have detailed convos at night that result in her kicking him in the face lol he gets a 'kick' out of it
