A member asked:
When i had an ultrasound i was told i had low amniotic fluid, could this lead to a c- section?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly but u need: To discuss this at length with your OB because u will need increased frequency of ultrasound because if the fluid becomes too low or the baby is not growing properly you will need early delivery by csection but this will be determined by your OB and I am sure your OB will be having u seeing a perinatologist also.
