Does Low Amniotic Fluid Lead To Miscarriage?

Yes, Maybe you can advice us. we live in a small town approximately 50 miles south of Bloomington, IN. My daughter goes to a Baby doctor in Bloomington IN, she just returned home with a sonogram and the doctor, she is due Sep 1, the dr. just informed her that their is a possibility of Amniotic band problems so he wants to do another sonogram in 4 weeks, we are concerned, should we be transferred to a specialist somewhere, we don t feel like we should wait 4 weeks, we feel we need to be sent somewhere that they specialize in this or at least an Indianapolis hospital where they could take a 3-D picture, MRI or find out soething now and not just sit and wait. Can you give me any suggestions, This is my daughter we are talking about, she has 3 children, had low amniotic fluid problem with them, has also had 2 miscarriages and always delivers at least 2 weeks early if not sooner. Please help me.

Hallow Mumma,

I do empathize your feelings and the situation.

Your daughter had low amniotic fluid problem in all three previous pregnancies and now there is amniotic band. I feel, very rightly you have taken it seriously. Low amniotic fluid is an acute serious condition for the life of he baby. Therefore it is better that you do not waste time and take an expert opinion. Leave the further investigations to the expert. However, you may suggest Manning's score (Biophysical Profile).

I hope this helps you.
