Does Drinking Fluid Help While There Is No Amniotic Fluid During Pregnancy?

hi i am 21 weeks pregnant and was just told i have no amniotic fluid dr put me on bed rest and told me to drink lots of fluids. But i live very close to joplin Mo where we just had a f5 tornado hit so my bed rest has nt been that great. I feel the baby move alot, so do u think that means my fluids are increasing? also does drinking alot of fluids really help?

HELLO DEAR
I understand your problem, dear as such there is no guidelines regarding food intake and fluids to increase amniotic fluid , but it was suggested to increase fluid rest in left lateral position with intake of fluid . Dear there are many causes for reduced amount of fluid apart from idiopathic like congenital anamolies like renal agenesis etc will also causes of oligohydraminos . AS you 21 weeks you should go for LEVEL 2 SCAN to rule out congenital abnormalities so your treatment can be planned accordingly. ALL THE BEST FOR ONGOING PREGNANCY
THANKS
