Anyone have any experience with polyhydramnios?

[CC2019]

Hello. Yes, I had polyhydramnios. It was diagnosed at around 30 weeks and I was closely monitored. I was quite uncomfortable because I was so big and it was difficult to sleep but I didn’t have any other problems with it. I was induced on my due date, the induction was successful and I delivered with no further interventions.

I’ve just been diagnosed with this... currently 39 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I am a bit worried reading up on this 😬

Hi,

I had a scan 38 weeks +3 days on Friday and was told I now have extra fluid (Polyhydramnios) my last scan two weeks before was all fine. I am worried as my consultant said there is a chance when my waters break the cord could become prolapsed. Also when baby is born she will have to have a tube inserted to look for any problems with her oesophagus as there maybe a gap. 🙁 I have another scan to check the fluid levels on the 18th, the day before my due date.
