Just AFI will not tell us the whole well being of the baby. Color flow values and growth charting to know about the growth status.

AFI is marginal. Not low. See to it that BP is normal.  Get a growth scan after 2 weeks. If the interval growth of the baby is fine, then dont worry about this level of AFI. Stay calm n stress free.
