Polyhydramnios symptoms like a sudden increase in belly size or firmness and urinating more frequently may indicate too much amniotic fluid or an excessive amniotic fluid pregnancy. An amniotic fluid overload with high amniotic fluid levels needs prompt polyhydramnios treatment and management. Swelling of the vulva can also occur with this condition. Recognizing the signs is crucial for ensuring the health of both mother and baby. Consulting a doctor right away is recommended if any polyhydramnios symptoms arise during pregnancy.

I have this they are seeing me every week I’m currently 32 weeks but baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead. I’m so uncomfortable I’m scared he’s head down and they say great doing ok in there but the way they are treating me you think it was the worst thing ever!!! I have gestational diabetes not serious so I’m also scared.
I’m sorry to hear this is happening. It sounds very scary. I am sending you love and light and healing thoughts.
@erinjackson3178 hello i am 32 weeks right now i found out i also have this.. Did u have your baby early and how was your baby
Is 23 cm of fluid considered too much amniotic fluid? My doctor told me it’s due to my increase in carb/sugar intake over the last month (I started craving sweets in my third trimester). Currently 34 weeks with 23cm of fluid.
They have me cutting my carbohydrate/sugar intake and coming back in 2 weeks to see the fluid. I don’t have gestational diabetes but in anemic, have a low lying placenta, and vitamin D deficiency. Any reassuring tips you can give? ❤

Exact case here from Greece. 23 cm and 6.6. I am 32 +5 weeks and they told me to follow a diabetic diet for 2 weeks and come back for check again. No Gestational diabetes nothing but the past month indeed I was eating everything possible without monitoring....

wishing you the best ❤️
@eg3657 Thanks! Wishing the best for you too! I will know if the diet did something actually to the afi level in one week fingers crossed!
