Maybe: Yes, hydration is important inn low amniotic fluid. It will take a few weeks of increased fluids, if that is the problem. Your doctor should follow it with repeat ultrasounds. Many women have very normal babies after reports of low AF test results

Oligo hydramnios: decreased amniotic fluids at 32 weeks will definatly respond to increased fluids and rest.as you near term your doctor I am sure vwill monitor you and baby by nonstress test biophysical profile and will decide the timing of dilivery and care for decreased amniotic fluid
