AFI low-36 week pregnant

2025-04-26 08:19:26
I had a Doppler scan at 35 weeks and 1 day of pregnancy, and everything was normal, including the amniotic fluid level, which was around 12.8. However, at 35 weeks and 6 days during a routine check-up, they found that the amniotic fluid was low. The doctor advised repeating the Doppler scan. I'm concerned—could this be due to an issue with my baby’s kidneys or urinary tract, or is there another reason? The gynaecologist did not mention the current amniotic fluid level.

It may or may not. The Doppler will decide if you should continue the pregnancy or go for delivery.
