Normal amount of amniotic fluid at 32 weeks of pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Amniotic fluid index, the normal range is 8~18cm. When the amniotic fluid index is less than 5cm, it is considered oligohydramnios, and pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible. Generally, before 28 weeks of pregnancy (7 months), due to the large amount of amniotic fluid and the smaller size of the fetus, the fetus has a larger range of movement in the uterine cavity, and the fetal position is more likely to change. After 32 weeks of pregnancy (8 months), the fetus grows rapidly, and the amount of amniotic fluid decreases relatively.
