37 weeks.

My doctor Friday told me the baby wasn't getting enough fluids and that they was gonna do a test Tuesday, I haven't dilated at all. If the test says he doesn't have enough fluid what could happen ? Or what would have to be done ?

I'm assuming when you go in on Tuesday that they will do an ultrasound, maybe a non stress test, and maybe check you again. If the fluid level is still too low they may induce you, especially if its affecting the baby. At 37 weeks you are considered full term. I know my doctor likes to wait until 38 weeks, if they can, before induction. You may be having this baby soon! Try to take it easy.

I think you should have asked your doctor what the outcome would be. Give him or her a call to find out so you know and aren't a worry wart.

Then you will be induced that same day and be holding your baby by the end of the day
