Polyhydramnios at 36th week Pregnancy
I am at 36th week of pregnancy and AFI is 22-23. Is it higher? Don't have diabetes, Doppler Scan is good. No breathlessness. Manageable if I am taking rest. Today is 3rd March, can I wait till the 14th of March so that my 37 weeks will be complete? With all the normal reports why it still increase? Any harm to baby due to this?

Since Doppler is normal, no diabetes, and no symptoms, this is usually benign and manageable.
✔️ Many cases are idiopathic (no identifiable cause)
✔️ Fluid can fluctuate naturally in late pregnancy
✔️ No harm to baby if growth & Doppler remain normal
✅ You can safely wait till 37 weeks with:
Weekly AFI & NST monitoring
Daily fetal movement count
⭐⭐⭐Adequate rest
⚠️ Consult urgently if breathlessness, pain, leaking, or reduced baby movements occur.
Have a happy motherhood dear
