Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) is a vital fetal health marker measured after 28 weeks gestation. Normal:8–25cm; <5cm=low fluid, >30cm=excess fluid. Abnormal levels link to fetal deformities, gestational diabetes or placental issues. Mild irregularities can be improved via diet or hydration; severe cases require professional medical intervention and close prenatal monitoring.

Gestational diabetes can be worrying for expectant mothers, but proper diet and lifestyle help keep it under control.Focus on a low-GI diet with small, frequent meals: choose whole grains, adequate protein, plenty of vegetables, and limited fruit. Avoid refined carbs and sugary foods.Mild exercise like walking also helps stabilize blood sugar. Effective management protects both mom and baby from short-term discomforts and long-term metabolic risks.
