Too much amniotic fluid?

katea81

Here's the background...

I had an ultrasound on Wednesday because LO was measuring big. (He weighed in at 6lbs 12 oz at 36 weeks) The doctor just called and said that as he was looking at the scans, he noticed that I have too much amniotic fluid. WTH does that mean? I know that too little AF can bring you to deliver, but what does too much mean? 

Anyone ever heard of this or have experience with it?

(I've only gained 20 pounds this pregnancy and don't have GD.)
