@Beth thank you! I see the consultant on 16th so will mention it to them to see if it can be checked again.
@Beth hi what do I expect to happen if it worsens as I’ve not had an appointment with my consultant yet and the amniotic fluid is measuring 10.3cm only mild but I don’t know much about this x
@Katie mine got worse before it got better, and they gave me regular scans. If it becomes severe, which is rare, I think they send you for a specialist scan, but otherwise they told me they would just need to check baby’s airways/ability to swallow when they’re born. But after a couple of scans every couple of weeks, it resolved itself and never caused any issues.
@Beth that’s really reassuring thank you🥹I have a scan next Thursday to check the water x
@Katie hope it goes well! I was very worried first time around, but all the worry was unnecessary in the end!
I had this in my first pregnancy. They sent me for additional scans but it resolved itself over a few weeks. They did explain what would happen if it worsened, but I think it very often just resolves itself and doesn’t result in any further steps being required.
