Abstract

Objective: 
Oligohydramnios is when the AFI is less than or equal to 5 cm. Borderline AFI ranges from 5.1 cm to 8 cm. Incidence of borderline AFI compared to normal AFI (8.1–18 cm) varies from 6% to 44% as mentioned in the studies. Decreased amniotic fluid can cause 
severe consequences to both mother and the fetus.
