Low Amniotic Fluid Problem
I was showing off my bump in that picture. I've never felt so good. Compared to my previous pregnancy, I have been doing everything right, this time. I have been eating the right food, drinking a lot of water, gaining the right amount of weight, making sure that I did not get any uterine infection and a whole lot of other things.

When I was pregnant with my oldest son, I was not careful at all. But, when he was born, he almost perfected his apgar test with a grade of 9/10/10.

Ironically, I have been having the most problems with my present pregnancy despite the fact that I have been doing exactly what I am supposed to do.

This morning, my doctor shocked me again with yet another complication in what is slowly becoming the saga of my second pregnancy. Pregnant at 5 months, they now have found that I have oligohydramnios.

Oligohydramnios is the condition of having too little amniotic fluid. This could mean: Compression of fetal organs resulting in birth defects and/or increased chance of miscarriage or stillbirth. And, at 20 weeks of pregnancy, it does not look good for my baby.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that nothing is wrong with the baby. Otherwise...
