A: Don't worry dear if the doctor is monitoring it closely then there is nothing to worry. Polyhydramnios is the medical term for having too much of amniotic fluid in the womb. It can be due to various reasons such as gestational diabetes, multiple pregnancies etc. Women with this condition may experience premature contractions, longer labor, difficulties breathing and other problems during delivery.
