The fluid is slightly low. Do not worry. If baby's blood flow (seen in Colour Doppler) is good, no need of immediate action. But repeat scan every 2 weeks. Delivery should be done by 37 weeks in NICU set up.

Visit your gynaecologist for check up. Also get Color Doppler done for blood flow to baby. And get the scan done every two weeks or as per your doctor's advice. If AFI doesn't increase, your doctor will take decision about delivery.
