I am 28 weeks pregnant and today the amniotic fluid was above the 95th centile on the scan. The doctor said I was in serious danger of going into premature labour-what could be wrong?
I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I have too much amniotic fluid. My current AFI is 23.4 and I'm due to be scanned in a weeks time. There are no apparent reasons for this fluid as baby is on the 75th centile and is swallowing and taking fluid in. All my blood tests have come back negative including GTT and TORCH screen. I have been scared stiff by various doctors telling me I may go into premature labour with various complications such as placental abruption and prolapsed cord. Please tell me something positive!
We're trying for our second child, our first daughter was born 8 weeks premature 7 years ago. What are the chances of having another premature birth? At the time of her birth I was given no reasons as to why she came so early so I am unaware of any medical conditon that caused a premature birth.
What are the chances of my baby surviving if he is born prematurely?
