Low amniotic fluid in 9th mnth pregnancy
Hello, I am 37th week pregnant and suffering from low amniotic fluid. Could you please let me know the reasons for low amniotic fluid. Will this affect my baby? My friend informed that low amniotic fluid may be caused due to genetic disorders in the baby. Is that true? I am married to my cousin.

You have to give a proper ANC history & scan report to come to conclusion . Getting married to your cousin will not cause less AFI .
Next Steps
normally AFI should be 8 in 36 weeks of pregnancy .if it is too less your gynaecologist would have informed you as already 37 weeks , terminated pregnancy .
Health Tips
don't worry . drink plenty of water . get a obstetric Doppler study done for the wellbeing of the baby .
