Patient's question:
What does the amniotic fluid dark area depth of 3.6, 3.2, 0, 4.4 at 40 weeks of pregnancy mean! Is it normal? When can delivery occur?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 checkups. If there is a condition of excessive amniotic fluid, the possibility of malformation cannot be ruled out, and amniocentesis may be necessary if needed.
