Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it. So I came here to consult. Please ask, what should I do if there is not enough amniotic fluid at 39 weeks of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, a normal amniotic fluid index in the late stages of pregnancy falls between 5-18. The current situation is considered normal, and there is no need to worry. You can have regular follow-up checkups. If there is an increase in amniotic fluid, the possibility of malformation cannot be ruled out, and amniocentesis may be necessary if needed.After a normal pregnancy, mild abdominal pain may occur. This pain is related to changes in the uterus and hormonal fluctuations in the body. If the abdominal pain is severe or accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding, it is important to be vigilant and seek medical attention promptly to prevent conditions such as threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
