No I haven't, and I'm sorry that's not of any help to you.
I hope and wish for the best.
They only time that I was told the fluid was low around my baby was when I was 2 wks overdue, and they made me go to the hospital to be induced.
I know that's not something you want to hear, so again I wish you the very best of luck!
relax though, the more stressed you are the worse it could become!

Hi,
I havent experienced this but cna tell you it isnt as serious asit sounds.
It is a condition called oligohydramnios – too little fluid around the baby. It can be associated with incomplete development of the lungs, poor fetal growth and complications with delivery. Amniotic fluid is measured by depth in centimeters. Normal amounts range from 5 to 25 centimeters; any amount less than 5 centimeters is considered low.
Although you are worried about this, it will sort itself out in most cases, see thelink below, that was one of the first results after I googled it. Dont worry too much, you and baby will be fine!
And P.S. Its been known that people who have low amniotic fluid levels are 'all baby' and get back to their pre- pregnancy size very quickly after the birth!
