I had Polyhydramnious with my second - at 29 weeks was told that
"false" pre term labour was caused by the fact that my uterus was
already the size it should be at 40 weeks.
At 36 weeks I was larger than a woman I knew who was 38 weeks with
twins. ( both 6lb+ born!).
By 42 weeks I was very uncomfrotable, one meter twenty five
around my stomach, then and Dr's refused to do ARM -
perhaps they were worried they would be 'drowned'. LOL
After subsequent c/s - apgars were 9 and 10
Never a problem with 8lb 10 oz baby. Then was told I may not
have had Polyhydramnious anyway - maybe it was just a lot of fluid
(clever ob.) Anyone know the difference?
Had my first at 27 weeks due to severe P.E.
Good luck to her - maybe a sling to help with the muscles if her
tummy gets heavy - something nobody told me about.

[ozmidwifery] Polyhydramnios
In my own personal experience of polyhydramnios there
was problem with
my baby (hydropic with pleural effusions and
ascites). Intrauterine
shunts corrected the problem and his was born
at 36 weeks. The labour
was completely without a
hicup.
