Low amniotic fluid and small abdominal circumference at 28+2weeks

Question

Went for growth scan and my amniotic fluid is low, at 8.1cm, babys abdominal circumference is measuring small in the 7th percentile and fetal weight is 1043g at 12th percentile. My dr said it could be due to underlying placenta issues and may have to induce at 37 weeks if thats the case and wants to do a rescan in a week to monitor. Any moms have advice or experience on this? Any ways to increase amniotic fluid and increase abdominal circumference? #firsttimemom

I had the same issue and all I did was drink a lot a lot of water per day. At least >1.5L. The issue was ok after that. But my placenta wasn’t at its best state too so I gave birth early at 37 weeks. But I’m sure water will solve the low amniotic fluid issue 😊 don’t worry so much
