Is Caesarian Or Normal Delivery Recommended?
I am 35 weeks 2 days pregnant. My age is approximately 38 years. Ultrasound showed amniotic fluid level at 7. Doctor has advised to take Argipreg sachet twice a day with water and to go for Ceaseran delivery at 37 weeks. Is it O.K.? However, I intend to go for normal delivery and that too at full term. Kindly advise.

Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Normal delivery will be risky at AFI of 7 but it can be tried. If you want full term normal delivery then you have to get weekly scan done till full term and if AFI is above 5 then YES you can give it a try .
