Can pregnant women increase amniotic fluid by drinking more water?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, the amniotic fluid index in the late stage of pregnancy is considered normal if it falls between 5-18. The current situation is likely normal, so there is no need to worry. You can have regular follow-up check-ups. If there is a condition of excessive amniotic fluid, it does not rule out the possibility of malformation, and amniocentesis may be necessary if needed.
