My wife having 33 week 3 days pregnancy and in latest scan report AFI is 9.05 cm, is it cause any problem.
What is normal AFI in this time and if it is low how to improve AFI?

Question

Hi,
Amniotic fluid index or AFI helps to estimate the amniotic fluid levels in the uterus for determining the fetal well-being. It is included in the biophysical profile of the fetus. The AFI (usually expressed in cm) is determined by performing ultrasound (ultrasonography) examination of the uterus.
No need to worry about!
An AFI between 8-18 is considered normal. Median AFI level is approximately 14 from week 20 to week 35, when the amniotic fluid begins to reduce in preparation for birth. An AFI < 5-6 is considered as oligohydramnios.
(Consult her concern gynaecologist).
