In the 8th month of pregnancy, amniotic fluid is assessed by ultrasound using the Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI), and a normal range is generally around 8-25 cm, with values below 5 cm considered low (oligohydramnios), which needs careful monitoring. Amniotic fluid usually peaks around 34-36 weeks and then gradually decreases. The Hermin injection given to your wife contains essential amino acids and is commonly used as supportive therapy in cases like low amniotic fluid or suspected fetal growth restriction; it helps improve maternal nutrition and may enhance placental function, which can indirectly support better fluid levels and fetal growth. Giving multiple doses (such as 6 injections) is often part of a planned course over several days to improve outcomes and is considered appropriate when guided by ultrasound findings. It is important to continue regular follow-ups, monitor baby movements, maintain good hydration and nutrition, and discuss any concerns with your doctor.
