Amniotic Fluid Index in Normal Pregnancy among Meitei Women of Manipur, India

Author(s) Thokchom Ursa, A.P. Meitei
Country India
Abstract Amniotic Fluid assessment with the help of Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) or four quadrant method technique has become an important part of antenatal surveillance. The present study attempts to find out the normal values of AFI at each week of gestation and the upper and lower normal limits among the Meitei women. From the 16th to 25th week, the AFI rose progressively and the peak values were found at the 26th, 27th and 32nd weeks. Thereafter till the 39th week, the AFI appears to decline gradually. The percentile values show progressive rise in the fluid volume at the 5th, 50th and 95th for each gestational week. An occasional decline in the fluid volume was seen at the 5th percentile from the 33rd week, showing mild cases of oligohydramnios among the Meitei women.
