So you are diabetic with low amniotic fluid levels . Both conditions pose a distinct danger to your baby . A baby growing in a diabetic environment is vulnerable as it , and the reduced liqour will also make it difficult for the baby and may lead to distress in the baby .
Im sure your treating gynaec has taken all factors into consideration such as your baby's weight , maturity, and your blood sugar levels to recommend an early delivery for you .
I think you may safely go along with your doctor's advice rather than taking the risk of leaving your baby in an unfavorable environment.
Next Steps
Go for it
Health Tips
Make sure your hospital has adequate facilities for your baby , as babies of diabetic mothers often require additional care . So ensure paediatrician and NICU availability for your delivery.
