Please consult with a Gynaecologist in his clinic or Nursing home.
Apparently you have not got yourself checked up regularly during your pregnancy and the result is that you suddenly land up with a diagnosis of Hydramnios at 38 weeks.
Please consult with a Gynaecologist now , before you have to go to a hospital in the middle of the night with a complication .

If the level two ultrasound is normal the increased Afi will not affect the baby
To rule out abnormalities in the baby a level two ultrasound is done after 18 weeks
If that is normal there would be no abnormalities in the baby
the marginally increased Afi could be because of deranged sugars
