Hi, I have been told i have low amniotic fliud at 36 weeks pregnant and i have had a torturous cough for months now and i have leaked what i hope is urine, on many occassion and i am constantly coughing up clear or white frothy sputum. I finished a course of antibiotics last week for a suspected chest infection. I am being monitored twice weekly at the hosp.I am worried for my baby, what would you advise?
Hello dear,I understand your concern. In my opinion low liquor at 36 weeks might not be dangerous. It can be due to deny Chat Doctor. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day. Also get examined by your doctor to rule out any placental insufficiency. If any untoward things are found the delivery can be planned immediately. As you have prolonged cough and also taken antibiotics kindly get complete blood counts done to rule out any infection. Prolonged infections might leaf to preterm labor. But as you are 36 weeks already nothing to worry. Fetal movements need to be checked as they might get decreased in cases of low liquor. Best regards...
