Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
6.9% of amniotic fluid is quite low.
You should rest in left lateral position & should take high protein diet.
Consult your doctor regularly for fetal growth , undergo cardiotocography twice a week, daily fetal movements should be >10.
For fetal growth there should be proper amount of amniotic fluid.
Take care
