Amniotic fluid -20 weeks
My fluid levels were adequate in every check up except last one . My gynaecologist told me fluid is slightly reduced (I was 19.3 weeks pregnant).but nothing to worry and asked me to drink 3lit of water and 1 arg 9 sachet everyday.
But I am wondering is there really possibility to increase amniotic fluid at 20 weeks and have healthy pregnancy.
My anomaly scan is on Tomorrow. Hoping my lil one is doing great .
I conceived after ectopic pregnancy. This baby is so special to me . Now I can't help myself than worrying .
I am trying to increase my fluid intake by drinking water . However I am able to feel movements

Amniotic fluid is reflection of maternal, placental and feral pathologies
By 20 weeks if it starts showing reduction , then most probably resistance to placental circulation due to upcoming pregnancy induced hypertension is pathology
Starting arginine can prevent this
So u r on right track
Also continue checking bp
