Hello Roopa, it is reassuring to hear that your Doppler scan was normal. At 28 weeks and 3 days, an Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) of 20 cm is considered at the high end of the normal range, often referred to as borderline polyhydramnios. ​Understanding Your AFI Levels ​Amniotic fluid levels are measured to ensure the baby has enough room to grow and that the placenta is functioning well. ​Normal Range: Generally, an AFI between 5 cm and 25 cm is considered within the normal range during the third trimester. ​Your Level: At 20 cm, while higher than average, it is not typically categorized as "severe" polyhydramnios. ​Why the Dietary Advice? ​Your doctor's recommendation to avoid sweets and rice is likely a preventive measure. High amniotic fluid can sometimes be linked to high maternal blood sugar levels (Gestational Diabetes), even if your tests haven't shown it yet. ​Sweets and Rice: These are high-glycemic foods that can spike blood sugar, potentially causing the baby to produce more urine, which increases amniotic fluid. ​Management: Reducing these helps stabilize your sugar levels and can help prevent the fluid from increasing further. ​Next Steps ​Follow the Diet: Stick to the low-sugar, controlled-carbohydrate diet as advised by your doctor. ​Glucose Monitoring: Ensure you have completed a GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) recently to rule out gestational diabetes. ​Regular Follow-ups: You will likely need serial scans every 2–4 weeks to monitor the fluid trend and the baby's growth. ​Word of Caution: If you notice sudden abdominal tightening, difficulty breathing, or a rapid increase in your belly size, contact your doctor immediately.
