Hi Doc, My Wife's Amnioticfluid index is 10.5, She was advised RL 500X2 infusion for 4 days to enhance the Liquor volume, but the last time we did that, we found the baby movements reduced drastically. We are worried.
1. Is the RL infusion required with a 10.5 index
2. Will fetal movements reduce due to this infusion.
Thanks & regards,
XXXXX

Hi,
1.Usually AFI of 10 to 15 can be taken as normal only.
If needed you can go for l-arginine sachets, which can be taken by mixing in water.
Plenty of oral fluids and rest in left lateral position can help to some extent.
You can go for repeat scan after one or two weeks, if there is no improvement in IV aminoacid infusions etc. for hyperalimentation with your doctor's advice.
These infusions are needed for osmosis and to increase the amniotic fluid level, so here dextrose is better than ringer lactate generally.
2.Usually fetal movements won't decrease with infusion.
Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
