Pregnancy at 35 weeks, amniotic fluid 6.2, is there any effect on fetal development?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, I'm 35 weeks pregnant with 6.2 cm of amniotic fluid. Will this affect fetal development?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, a normal amniotic fluid index in the late stages of pregnancy is between 5-18. The current situation is considered normal, so there is no need to worry. You can have regular follow-up check-ups. If there is an increase in amniotic fluid, the possibility of malformation cannot be ruled out, and amniocentesis may be necessary if needed.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
