During pregnancy, the baby lives in the amniotic sac inside the uterus. The amniotic sac is filled with amniotic fluid that acts like a cushion for the baby. When the amniotic fluid index is less than 5 cm, it is called oligohydramnios. If it is more than 25 cm, it is called polyhydramnios. But this can be managed and the same has been conveyed to the patient.

Normal AFI levels during pregnancy:

AFI Volume – 800 ml to 1000 ml at around 34 weeks of gestation. It can be calculated only by Scan.

Lower AFI does not indicate caesarean section as long as the baby’s growth is normal. AFI can be increased by (i) by drinking 3-4 litres of water per day (ii) sleeping in left lateral position for more than 8 hours (iii) regular follow up with gynaecologist (iv) by infusing IV fluids and Amino acid infusion.
