Hi all


I am 38 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with polyhydramnios a few weeks ago. Apart from being extremely uncomfortable, I haven't been overly worried as my midwife seems pretty laid back about it and I am having scans every two weeks at Kings to monitor things. However, I stupidly decided to do some further research (ie. I got on Google) and am now worried about things like cord prolapses and haemorrhaging.


Has anyone else had polyhydramnios in their pregnancies and can give me some idea about what to expect/do when I go into labour? I have an appointment with my midwife on Friday and will be asking her for more detailed guidance, but anything from anyone who has actual first hand experience would be really appreciated.


Thanks x

Hi bonfire

I had this as well ..... I think stay away from google!!!! I had no problems, although let's just say when my waters broke, there was definately a lot of it! So be prepared on that front! When I was told I had it, the midwife was not concerned at all, I think a doctor was nearby when I gave birth ..... Precautionary measures, and all turned out well. Good luck to you, I think this is fairly common ....

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
