Hi Kamto, I has Polyhydramnios in my last pregnancy, the extra fluid made it hard to walk but I also had pgp so that didn't help. I was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I had previously tested negative at 24 weeks but later tested positive. I had regular scans to check baby's growth. I was already having a c-section and so baby was born at 38+1 weighing 8lb2, they had predicted if I go to 40 weeks baby could have been 10lbs 😁😂, when the baby was born they passed a tube down to his stomach to check there was no blockage and all was well. Baby is now 17 months and has no lasting issues. It is worrying when you do a goole search for Polyhydramnios but please try and not worry (easy to say I know) more often than not there is absolutely no reason for it, its just something that has happened in the pregnancy.
