Being induced for low fluids..

edited August 2011 in Labor
I went for a check up ultrasound and they found that my fluid level was low for 36.6 weeks. Doc sent me straight to the hospital, I was so scared and not ready. I'm not dilated at all and I thought I had plenty of time before baby would be here to get things done. Sleeping here was a freaking joke, every time I move they have to come in and adjusting the baby monitor. Finally I had to ask to ambien at 3am so I could get a couple hoqurs sleep. My level was 3.5 yesterday and when they did the followup u/s this morning it was a 1.3 so they have to induce me now. I'm scared that something could be wrong with my baby :'( they won't even let me get up to take a shower, they didn't tell me why I couldn't. They checked for leaking fluid but it's def not leaking, how can it be so low?

  • Omg so sorry...im so glad though u r at 36 weeks . Did they give baby steroids for lungs? my fluid is the complete opposite..too much 33. Best luck with delivery ;-)
  • Thanks, I'm just worried cuz I have no idea how long the fluid has been soooo low! I'm 37 weeks today so I don't think they will give me shots. I think the shots only work if they have 48hrs to work and they want baby out today!

    @urmomwasright how many weeks are u? Are there complications with too much fluid too?
  • @gsmommy
    Has ur baby been moving n all? How did it look on u/s?
    I had my last daughter at 34 weeks and she wad fine :-)
    37 weeks is great... just like u said though u don't know how ling the levels were low.
    The high levels I have has I would hues different risk then urs...mine is still birth, retardation, Idk its a whole list. I'm only 30 weeks now though. My levels went from 25 cm I think it is measured to 33 in less than 2 weeks. I really hope everything is ok for u n baby sweety ;-)
