Very low amniotic fluid can be a serious condition and may affect the baby?s development and survival, especially if it occurs early in pregnancy or is severe. It is important to confirm the diagnosis, understand the cause, and review the baby?s condition and gestational age in detail with your doctor or obstetrician before making a decision. Depending on the situation, options may include close monitoring in selected cases or termination of pregnancy if the risks to the baby are very high. You may also consider a second opinion and counselling to help you and your family make a decision that feels right for your medical and emotional situation.
