Can low amniotic fluids mean the baby will have retardation?

Not necessarily: Too little amniotic fluid might put more stress on the fetus but the outcome may be O.K.

A member asked:

38 weeks woke up this morning and found myself shooting pee straight out of the toilet while sitting. Sign of baby really down low? Labor close? I still have to lean forward to keep pee in the toilet. Pretty sure it's not amniotic fluid.
