What Is The Normal Level Of Fluid Index In A Pregnant Woman?
Hi, I'm pregnant. 38 weeks and 1 day completed and EDD as per the lastest scan is 09 February. The following is the scan report.
BPD - 9.32cm HC - 33.72cm FL - 7.52cm AC - 31.28cm Estimated fetal weight : 3020gms +/- 441grams Amniotic Fluid Index - 7.09cm
Now, my question is about the Fluid Index - 7.09cm. Could you please let me know if it is very less? And also if my baby is to small or normal. Baby movement is normal. Kindly suggest. I have a schedule appointment to my doctor on Monday.(Jan 27). However, just wanted to take your opinion as well.
Hi, You are almost at term. But your AFI is slightly below normal. We like to keep it it at least 10 at all times. Although your date is near, and AFI decreases with maturity, sometimes too low AFI may cause fetal problems. Note the fetal movements and consider your doctor's advice.
