hi ive posted on multiple births 2 but was hoping sum1 here might have had a similar experiance im 28+6 weeks.
my lil girl is doing fine growing steadily n is near enough bang on average n the liquor volume is also satisfactory but my lil boy is measuring on the 3rd centile for abdominal cercomferance dispite being a lil below the 50th centile 8 weeks ago so his growth rate has slowed byt only found his abdomen. his liquor volume is below the 5th centile n they dnt know y. i dnt think i have been leaking fluids n they did a doppler n said i have 2 go back for another scan next week 2 recheck it n see if there r any changes to the blood flow or liquor volume t c if everything is working properly. the consultant said if its not then i may have 2 be delivered early n they will keep an eye on it 2 asses the point at which he would be better of out than in. he also possibly has talipes in 1 ankle which we will have 2 w8 till he is born 2 find out whether its a ligament problem due 2 his foot being in an awkward angle n will need physio or whether its structural n he will need an operation. good news is that my boy is still head don n my lil girl has turned from breech to almost head down she is sort of at angle between transverce n head down! so that meant i will prob be aloud a vaginal delivery!
has any 1 else had problems with liquor volume? i already had steroids last month when i was admitted 2 hospital so he should be ok????? they said there is enough fluid for him 2 develop but that it is below were it shoud be n they need 2 know y
xx

I've had two very worrying pregnancies and it's sheer hell when you're going through it. Let us know how you get on with your appointments. Good luck. xx
