amniotic fluid levels in 9th month - #17447

Anonymously

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.

It's understandable to feel anxious about low amniotic fluid levels, especially as you near the end of your pregnancy. In Ayurveda, maintaining balance and reducing stress are key to supporting both your body and the baby. The condition you're experiencing could be linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which can cause dryness and pressure. To support amniotic fluid levels, Ayurveda recommends staying hydrated with warm, nourishing liquids like coconut water, milk, and herbal teas made from coriander or fennel, which are believed to help hydrate and nourish. Additionally, ghee is highly regarded in Ayurveda for its ability to promote hydration and balance in pregnancy. Shatavari is generally considered safe during pregnancy and may support reproductive health, but Ashwagandha is best avoided during this stage unless prescribed by your doctor due to its stimulating effects. Reducing stress is vital—breathing exercises, gentle yoga, and meditation can help calm your mind and body. Your doctor’s advice to drink more water and rest is essential, as stress and overexertion can worsen the condition. If your blood pressure is slightly elevated, try to relax and avoid overthinking, as stress can exacerbate both blood pressure and fluid imbalances. A gentle abdominal massage with sesame oil or saffron oil (as long as your doctor approves) may help improve circulation and ease tension. Always check with your doctor before trying new remedies, especially herbal supplements, during pregnancy.
