Amniotic fluid level 6.8
Hi i am 34 week pregnant and the amniotic fluid level is reduced to 6.8. Can i increase it or keep it at this range atleast for two weeks so that my baby dont get any complications and get full term maturity.
Hi there,
Fluid level is less.
If growth and blood flow to the baby is normal ,you can wait for few days.
There are medicines which can help increasing the water level. But those meds are not 100 pc effective in every patient. We can just try.
If you want to wait you need to be under observation. ( Hospitalized)
Health Tips
keep strict baby count.
it shouldn't be less than 12 per day.
be aware about water discharge if you have any.
less water can be due to water bag bursting and in that case we should not wait a single minute.

Amniotic fluid is moderately less .hope the ultrasound with Doppler flow is fine otherwise.please strictly monitor the baby movement and serial ultrasound to monitor baby interval growth.i will advise steroid cover for baby lung maturity.plan for baby delivery at 37-38 weeks if all well .mode of delivery has to be discussed with your gynecologist in detail considering all the safety of the baby .dont worry once baby is out it will be grow .
