Hi, I am 31 weeks pregnant and during my growth scan i was told that my AFI is 25.my doctor told me that it could be polyhydramnios as i dont have any diabetics. when i was googling i found it can cause baby to have genetic defects. I am so worried. please let me know if any one experienced same or any one knows about polyhydramnios?

Hi

I had this condition with my last 2 pregnancies I also didn’t have Diabetes although I was tested regularly and both my babies were fine perfect actually, it does make you slightly higher risk for the birth so they will probably schedule you to be in hospital before your due date or induce you they did with me anyway.

Ask your midwife they should be able to tell you.

Try not to worry although easier said than done I know x
