AFI - 9.5.Can we expect normal delivery?
My wife is 28 weeks pregnant and her AFI index is 9.5. Doctor has advised to administer Betnesol 24 mg injection split into two doses and Alamin sv infusion, can we expect a normal delivery at 37 weeks or Chances of premature delivery is high through C section at 34 weeks? Kindly advise. We are confused and worried. Also is it fine to take Betnesol injection. Will there be any impacts on baby health now or in the long term?

Betnesol ok
Rest
Alamine
Sidenafil
These medicines are recommended
In AFI less
Intermittent O2 inhalation also help if you O2 concentrater at home ( because many patients keep concentrater after Covid and I recommended in many patients with good results)
If you don’t have then just forget
