Lower limit of normal.
Next Steps
can use L arginine satchets twice daily.. though at 36weeks it's improvement will likely be limited. monitoring required with scan and Doppler fetal kick count from mother side is important and drink lots of fluids
Health Tips
normal delivery is not dependent just on fluid levels..also on baby size and mother's pelvis. 8 is adequate for normal delivery as an individual parameter

It’s towards lower side. Monitoring needed everywhere. Need amino acid supplementation. Have lots of fluid and high protein diet.
