Your report may mention the centiles for AFI as per gestation. Increase in liquor can be due to gestational diabetes. Review your blood sugar control and try to maintain target blood sugars.

In GDM there is risk of raised AFI..at 32weeks your AFI is absolutely normal. Keep blood glucose in control...and always keep track of your fetal kick count.
