What does noninvasive prenatal test reports?

Hello doctor,

I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and I underwent an ultrasound last week and the AFI level came around 5cm. The baby's growth is good (more than 1000 gm). My NIPT results were also normal. I wanted to check and discuss with a gynecologist through video conferencing regarading my AFI level and the precautions needed by me. Here is the snapshot of the observation:

1. Growth: Good.
2. Doppler: The doppler flow profiles are normal.
3. Amniotic fluid: Oligohydramnios
4. There is no evidence of structural abnormalities.
5. Ultrasound type II in singletons and first multiple births - 339486Q. Thank you for your referral for suspected fetal growth restriction (AC p0) and oligohydramnios AFI 7cm.
6. NIPT includes incidental findings normal.
7. ETSEO normal.
8. TTSEO normal and normal biometrics
9. Your findings were partially confirmed. The growth restriction was not observed here. Normal biometrics with EFW p26. No indications of structural abnormalities as far as can be assessed at this time (incomplete research). Normal doppler profile.
10. An oligohydramnios with AFI 5cm.
11. Findings discussed with the couple.
12. There is currently no obvious cause for the oligohydramnios.
13. The kidneys are bilateral and appear normal. There is also bladder filling and normal genitalia seen.
14. There is also no story of broken membranes. Sometimes oligohydramnios is a first manifestation of placental insufficiency. This is not seen today in biometrics and dopplers. Revision agreed here to follow up. Until then, care with your own healthcare provider.
15. Depending on the next check, advice will follow further pregnancy guidance in first or second line.

I am also sharing the blood test results. Is it possible to have a video call today?

Thank you.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

My next ultrasound scan is next week to monitor the growth of the baby and the AFI. Can I increase the AFI level by drinking more liquid or water? Will it be a concern if my AFI levels remain the same but the growth is good?
