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...

I too am just diagnosed with the same issue. I have had some fluid leakage as well as cramping and bleeding. What advice has your doctor given? What steps are you taking.
