My doctors have not diagnosed me with polyhydramios but I am carrying lots of extra fluid. Should I be worried?

Have you seen a consultant or doctor as of yet.

Because if you have seen a doctor or consultant regarding this, or your midwife has referred you to see a doctor or consultant they certainly would tell you if you have it!

Are you consultant led care?

Yeah my doctors have not said I have it. They just said I am carrying extra fluid and I am doing 2 non stress test a week and extra ultrasounds. I just wondered how can you have all of this extra fluid and not be diagnosed with that. I seen my doctor today and they said sometimes you carry it for no reason. I just wanted some other opinions from anyone that carried extra. Their telling me not to worry but sometimes I jutt need reassurance
