amniotic fluid levels in 9th month - #17447
Last week, I had my ultrasound, and the doctor said my amniotic fluid levels in 9th month are on the lower side. She didn’t seem too worried, but she told me to drink more water and rest. But I don’t understand... I’ve been drinking plenty of water, coconut water, even milk. How much more can I really do? I’m 36 weeks pregnant now, and honestly, I feel okay overall. Baby is moving, but I do feel like movements have slowed down a bit in the last few days. Sometimes I feel a bit breathless, and my feet are swelling more than before. Also, my stomach feels tight often, like there’s pressure inside. I don’t know if that has anything to do with amniotic fluid levels in 9th month, but now I’m getting worried about everything. I’ve never had BP issues before, but my doctor checked, and it was slightly high this time. She said we will monitor it. But I just keep thinking, what if my amniotic fluid levels in 9th month drop even more? Will it harm the baby? I read online that low fluid can cause complications in delivery, and now I can’t stop stressing. Does Ayurveda have any remedies to improve amniotic fluid levels in 9th month naturally? Are there any specific foods or herbs that can help? I’ve heard of Shatavari and Ashwagandha, but I don’t know if they’re safe to take this late in pregnancy. Also, can stress affect amniotic fluid levels in 9th month? Because I feel like the more I think about it, the more I panic. If anyone has been in this situation before, please share what worked. Are there any Ayurvedic oils or massages that can help? I really want to make sure my baby is safe and that I have a normal delivery.
