A member asked:
My wife is 29wk pregnant her recent doppler scan shows afi 6.3, placenta grade is 3 with small calcified area. are there chances of premature delivery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No increased risk: the fluid index is a bit low but that is highly variable on how the sonographer displays the image. The other ultrasound findings would not confer any increased risk of premature delivery in the absence other worrisome clinical findings like maternal hypertension eclampsia etc
