Question
Doctor let me ask a few questions: I am 36 weeks 4 days pregnant, but 2 weeks ago the ultrasound doctor measured my amniotic index at 65. The ultrasound doctor concluded that I have an alarming lack of amniotic fluid. But I look at the amniotic fluid index at 37 weeks and it says 6-18, so I can rest assured. So, 37 weeks pregnant with amniotic index 65mm, is there a lack of amniotic fluid? Thank you doctor.

Answer
Hi,
Oliguria is a phenomenon where the amount of amniotic fluid is less than the normal physiological level, when the AFI amniotic index is less than 5cm and the amniotic membrane is intact. At 32 - 36 weeks, the amount of amniotic fluid is about 800ml or more. Your 37 week amniotic fluid reading of 65mm is within the normal range (normal 6 - 8cm). However, you need to monitor your pregnancy regularly to detect possible risks for mother and baby early.
If you still have questions, you can contact the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for advice by qualified doctors. Thank you for trusting me to send the question of whether you are pregnant at 37 weeks with amniotic fluid index 65mm or not to Vinmec.
