I'm 30 weeks pregnant and just found out that my amniotic fluid index is 20.8 cm. I'm a bit worried if this is normal. My blood sugar levels and glucose tolerance test were normal, and I don't have an RH negative blood type. Could there be a reason for this high fluid level? And, is there anything I can do to reduce the excess fluid?
