Here is the English translation of the provided text: 36 weeks prenatal check-up shows low amniotic fluid, what should I do?

Patient's question:

At 36 weeks of pregnancy, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The ultrasound showed a biparietal diameter of 9.0 cm, a femur length of 7.0 cm, a head circumference of 32.3 cm, and an abdominal circumference of 35.6 cm; visible umbilical cord echoes in the neck; unclear sacrum and tailbone; fetal heart rate of 140 beats per minute, fetal movement present, four-chamber heart visible (cardiac anomaly screening rate of 70%); placental thickness of 3.5 cm, located in the anterior arm; amniotic fluid index of 11.3 cm; Doppler blood flow S/D 2.48?1.
Is this ultrasound result normal?
How is the 70% cardiac anomaly screening rate interpreted?
Can the baby's size be determined? Is the size normal?

Doctor's answer:

If there is oligohydramnios, and the fetus is found to be free of abnormalities after a thorough examination, and the pregnant woman does not have severe second-order neuron disease, under the guidance of a doctor, the amniotic fluid volume can be increased by drinking water quickly. For pregnant women who are full-term but not in labor and have oligohydramnios, they can drink 2000 milliliters of water within 2 hours. If this still does not meet the recommended level, the above method can be repeated. This method is safe, effective, simple, and easy to implement.
