    I am 36 wks pregnant now, my fluid on the border line high, I believe on 24.5ish, pocket number is 9.25 ish (I was higher before, dropped from 28 down to 24.5ish). Wondering should I be concerned this point? Would be early induce labor 38wks be be an option?

    @@nishamillicent614 I had full term baby, strong and healthy! I tried ate a little bit more healthy and walked for about an hour every day which seemed helped lower my fluid level, also my OB monitored my fluid level weekly after I had relatively high fluid level.

    Thanks,am also expecting and due in a few weeks,when I went for scan at 24weeks I was told that the amniotic fluid was moderate meaning not servere and not mild n I have really been wondering,when I went to see a gynaecologist I was told it's ok,I will have a healthy baby really hopeful and looking forward to the few remaining weeks with hope and courage.
