It's too early to say anything about fluid levels. If one fetus is
normal length and with a good fetal heartbeat, take assurance in that.
You will need follow up sonograms for more information as the pregnancy
progresses.
Good luck with the pregnnacy.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
