8.8cm  AFI is it low?

2025-01-11 21:12:22
Recently l have done my 35 weeks ultrasound and my AFI is 8.8cm, but according to my gynac it is low and she has recommended another ultrasound after 10 days as she's trying to improve my AFI level till 12cm by saline and arginine sachets...but if my water levels doesn't increase she's suggesting me to go for c sec in 37 weeks, but l'm concerned will it be too early? Or should l wait more?..also how to increase or improve AFI levels within 1 week?
