Confused re: fluid

2 weeks ago at my A/S ultrasound it was found that my amniotic fluid was low (8.4) and I was advised to drink plenty of fluid and continue with my daily routine.  I have been drinking between 80 and 100 ounces of water/liquid each day.  That is a lot of fluid and quite frankly I don't know if I could have continued doing that, but today at my follow up appointment my fluid levels were at 10 and the tech told me to drink less before my next ultra sound because my bladder was so full and it can sometimes cause contractions (EEK!).

So, I really didn't drink anymore than I normally would before my appointment, but obviously I didn't get to pee when I wanted to either.  I am calling my doctor in the morning, but is it possible I am drinking too much?  For all I've been drinking my fluid levels did not go up that much.

Thoughts?
