Im currently at 31 weeks
Through out my pregnancy my AFI hasn’t increased more than 9.6… im doing everything possible 3lts water, tablets, Argipreg sachets, IV infusions every 15 days..
Baby weight, Doppler scan, movements are all normal
Really worried that it may reduce as weeks pass
Is there anything else that i can do?

AFI of 9.6 cm is nothing to worry much it's definitely in the normal range.Do the scan regularly as advised and monitor the fetal movements and keep yourself well hydrated.

It’s ok AFI ,if growth and parameters are normal
Don’t worry
Continue same as you are doing
If AFI is less and baby growth is normal with normal Doppler nothing to worry but need proper follow up

I don't know how you got the idea that your AFI is low when it has been up to 9.6 cm . You are 31 weeks now. Now is the time that the AFI will go up till 38 weeks and after that it may reduce a little. If anything you have been overtreated. Anyway, no harm.
Your pregnancy is progressing nicely.

The AFI is not the only parameter that we take into account while assessing your pregnancy and baby's health. AFI of 9.6 at 31 weeks is not an overly worrisome factor if the growth and dopplers are all fine. Unnecessary stress and anxiety is what can be a problem rather than a small decrease in AFI. So, relax and follow your gynecologist's treatment plan and advice.

You need to understand that the water around the baby cannot be increased by increasing mothers water intake or iv infections
You can continue taking the Sachets that you are
Nothing else can be done
