Is it normal to have a fetal monitoring score of 8 at 38 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Pregnant 38 weeks plus 3. Ultrasound shows maximum amniotic fluid depth of 28mm. Amniotic fluid index of 56mm. Cord2. Fetal monitoring score of 8... Do I need a cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy now?? What kind of help do I need: Is my current situation requiring a cesarean delivery to terminate the pregnancy?? Or can I be observed

Doctor's answer:

At 38 weeks, if this situation occurs again, it is necessary to terminate the early pregnancy. The amniotic fluid is too low, and during labor, it is very likely to happen again that the fetus chokes in the womb. In addition to the umbilical cord being wrapped around the neck twice, it is recommended to go to a formal hospital in time. Communicate more with you and the attending physician to jointly decide on the best plan to end the early pregnancy and induce labor early to avoid danger. The child is more likely to face danger in a harsh environment.
