Hello doctor,My wife is 29 years, 4 ft and 11 inches. She is now 39 weeks pregnant and her weight is 56.8 kg. I am attaching today's scan report. The doctor said her AFI is 8.2 (low) and fetal weight is 3 kg which is a little high for her. So, the doctor is suggesting induction labor. My question is, is the induction necessary? Also, I am confused with the scan report as it is showing gestation age as 36 weeks and EDD is 5th of next month. How is it possible as our delivery date is given as 17th of this month?
Hello. I have gone through your query and reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The due date keeps changing, but the EDD given at early pregnancy is only to be followed. So, according to which your due date is 17th only. Yes, according to the scan induction is required. Please listen to your gynecologist and go ahead with the decision. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me. Take care. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
