Amniotic fluid more than usual

Question

Hi all, I am currently 30 weeks pregnant today. My doc told me I got more amniotic fluid than usual and hence explained my huge stomach. I was told to reduce sugar intake (although I passed OGTT) in the hope of reducing the fluid. Doc said might cause early water bag burst and early delivery.. I tried googled online but there was no natural solution to reduce. Anyone experienced before? Some background: I also got UTI which did not cleared after a week plus of antibiotics and started taking blood pressure med for this pregnancy at end of first trimester.. And what happened if UTI still cant cleared after antibiotics? First time experienced UTI.I just hope I will have a safe delivery as I got a miscarriage before in 2017.

Try to drink some barley water. Not too much. It cures UTI effective for pregnant women. Cranberry juice helps too but its very sour

My amniotic fluid was also higher than normal and got the same advise from my OB. I managed to reach 38 weeks and had normal delivery. Just follow your OB advise about sugar. Although it will not totally reduce to normal, at least its not that high.
