Dr. Priya, Dr. Rekha N

Abstract: The study investigates the effects of borderline amniotic fluid index AFI on term pregnancies. Conducted at BGS global institute of Medical Sciences, Bangalore, this prospective comparative study involved 100 women, divided equally between those with borderline AFI 5 - 8 cm and Normal AFI. The research aimed to assess the mode of delivery and perinatal outcomes such as meconium-stained amniotic fluid, birth weight, Apgar scores, and NICU admissions, and more cases of meconium stained amniotic fluid. The study concludes that enhanced antepartum surveillance and monitoring are essential to mitigate adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancies with borderline oligohydramnios.
