A. Can I take coconut water, and also I wanted to ask as before three weeks my AFI was 13 oll of a sudden it reduced to 7.8 , in between three weeks I had dry fruits( walnut, peanut chikki, kishmish, Kaju, makhana ) is dis the reason for sudden fall n yes I take around 6-7 litres of water every day . M stoned. How kum it's less. At 31 weeks AFI is 7.8 and baby weight is 1530 grams is it less?
