Thanks ladies:-) feeling much better now. Doc suggested me to be on bed whole day. Mine AFI is 6.1 in 30th week. Any idea what shud be the normal AFI at this point of time?

I had low fluid also but I didn't find out till I was 41 weeks they had to induce me slowly And I had to stay on bed rest the whole labor they get worried because less fluid means baby heart might drop of they can't handle labor so u will have a csection but I got to deliver natural her rate only dropped once and shot right back up don't stress the doctors will let u know what to do usually they runs stress test to check how babys heart beat is

Oh she is a healthy, no complications/medical issues. She's is still petite. She was born 4lbs, 11 oz.

I had low fluid with my first baby. She was also IUGR. They monitored me more and I delivered at 38 weeks via emergency c/s as the low fluid was causing the cord to compress.
