35 weeks and 5 days, membranes ruptured, amniotic fluid has dried up, is it suitable for vaginal birth?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 43 years old, prenatal examination is normal.
Due to rupture of membranes, hospitalized.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, a normal amniotic fluid index in the late stages of pregnancy is between 5-18. The current condition is considered normal, and there is no need to worry. You can have regular follow-up checkups. If there is a situation of excessive amniotic fluid, the possibility of malformation cannot be ruled out, and amniocentesis may be necessary if needed.
