Low AFI at 33 weeks.
Am 33 weeks 3 days .The Fetus weight is 1.969 kgs and Doppler is normal (8/8) . When I had my last scan at 31 weeks the AFI was 9.6 and it remained constant after two weeks of scan (9.8) .There was no much improvement even after taking arginine sachets twice in a day.Please suggest whether I can complete 37 weeks by continuing the sachets? Will the AFI fluid maintain or it starts decreasing after 35+ weeks .

AFI decreases with advancing pregnancy repeat Doppler after 2 weeks . Continue Arginine sachets . Have food 4times/day
,high protein diet. If Doppler is normal
, at 35weeks, you can wait till 37 weeks.
