Usg-obs result shows less amniotic fluid
Hi, I'm currently 29 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I did a usg-obs scan along with doppler test today and the result shows I have less amniotic fluid around 7.9. I was advised to take more water, fresh juice and high water content foods and to be on bed rest for now. I have also started IV to increase amniotic fluid (Iv for 5 days). Fetal weight as per latest scan report says
Bpd 77mm
Hc 278mm
Ac 231mm
FL 56mm
Efw 1260 grams
Kindly advise on whether the baby weight is ok as per the gestational age and whether I can increase the fluid level effectively with 5 days of iv.

Weight of the baby does not matter
It is the weeks that dominance circumference is corresponding to is important
You need to understand that the amniotic fluid cannot be increased by increasing maternal fluid intake or iv fluids
The fluid around the baby is because of the babys urine sweat and excretion
