Can I take glucose to help increase my amniotic fluid index? My AFI is currently at 10 cm, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant. What should I do to improve it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
One way to potentially increase your amniotic fluid levels is by staying hydrated and drinking plenty of fluids. Additionally, you can talk to your healthcare provider about taking medications such as Amnioinfusion, which is a procedure where saline solution is infused into the amniotic sac to increase fluid levels. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I'm wondering what the early pregnancy symptoms are, like ten days after having sex but before a missed period. What should I be looking out for?
In early pregnancy, around 10 days after intercourse, some women may experience mild symptoms such as implantation bleeding, light cramping, breast tenderness, and fatigue. These symptoms can vary and are often similar to those seen before a missed period, so a pregnancy test after a missed period is the most reliable way to confirm pregnancy.

I'm about 6 weeks and 6 days pregnant and the only symptom I've had has been tender breasts. But for the last two days, the pain has completely disappeared, and my breasts feel just like they did before I was pregnant. Is this disappearing symptom normal, or could it mean something's wrong? This is my first pregnancy, and I'm feeling pretty anxious. My first scan is due on October 8th. What should I expect?
