A member asked:

34 weeks pregnant. amniotic fluid index, afi=26.4. concern? will my baby be safe inside?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Close monitoring: The fluid levels around the baby fluctuate during pregnancy. If the fluids continue to increase and you have other medical conditions such as diabetes, your OB/GYN may choose to perform procedures to reduce the fluid as needed. Fluid level of 26 is just above the normal cusp of normal (25) and a repeat ultrasound will help.
