Dear Practo User,
Your AFI is not low , so no need to rush to CS at 30 wks of gestation , as you are saying Doppler findings are all normal , so might be a possibility that NST was not done correctly or done for less time ,better repeat it again next week and meanwhile keep a track on baby's movement .
If NST is again non reactive , a repeat scan with Doppler will be needed.

Ya. You dont need cesarean section right now as afi is not too low, dopplers normal. You can repeat ultrasound after 15 days. Take high protein diet. Argin also you can have.
