Amniotic Fluid Index

Have you been checked for gestational diabetes, I have extra amniotic fluid / polyhydramnios due to the GD

Anything over 24 (some hospitals use 25) is mild polyhydramnois.

Mine at my last scan was 29.

I don’t have GD but do have a big baby. Most cases of poly are ideopathic (no known cause).

If they were concerned they’d have referred for further tests x

Coincidentally I’ve also just had a 32 week scan and had the same results come back ( although my amniotic fluid is slightly higher at 25.5 mark). I’ve been booked in for a (third!!) GD test ( previous 2 were totally normal) but also they’ve sent off bloods & urine to check for UTI or viruses so waiting to hear back on those. They said can take up to a week which is an annoyingly long time to wait 🙄
I have noticed recently an increase pelvic pain/pressure, needing to wee more, feeling a bit under the weather & more discharge so I’m almost convinced it’s the latter ( a UTI) but waiting for the tests to come back.
So anxiety-inducing 😖
If you’re worried, I would push for the same above checks. You’re well within your right to request them to make sure you’re ruling everything out.
Although one thing midwife did say to reassure is that I think this can be quite common - amniotic fluids can rise and then sort themselves out within a week or two , so fingers crossed that’ll happen !

Your water levels are still within normal so don't worry, that's why they're not worried.

I had on the higher side of water with my first and my waters broke Hollywood style 3 times. I basically redecorated our living room in amniotic fluid 🫠😂 ended up squatting over a mop bucket after the 3 massive gush and still filled the bucket by half by the time it stopped leaking 🫠🫠 baby is just having a good old swim!
