- stress
- psychosomatic

During my pregnancy, my amniotic fluid was at borderline level. There was no leak whatsoever so I was told it was because of late pregnancy. After a week of hydration using IV fluid, no progress occurred. I was sent home & advised to just take complete bed rest and drink 3 to 4 liters of water since there was nothing else that could be done. After few weeks of water therapy, my amniotic level went up from 6 to 16 - almost 300% increase!
