hello.. actually it is not too low but for this gestational week its in lower part..<br>
One of the simplest ways to increase your amniotic fluid is to make sure that you are always hydrated. When you increase the amount of water you have in your body, your amniotic fluid levels will also rise. Drink water throughout the day and try to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses at a minimum. <br>
Vegetables like-  Cucumber, celery, radishes, cauliflower, spinach, broccoli, and baby carrots.. Fruits like  Watermelon, tomatoes, star fruit, strawberries, grapefruit helps in hydration.. <br>
Some pregnant women are admitted to the hospital for additional intravenous fluid therapy if natural means of rehydration (like drinking lots of water) are not able to increase the amount of amniotic fluid. If you have tried rehydrating at home with no changes in amniotic fluid levels, you will most likely have to get an IV to stay hydrated. Once your amniotic fluid levels are back to normal, you will most likely be discharged.

Discuss the same with your doctor. Make sure you have plenty of fluids and high protein foods. The doctor may also recommend some additional supplements for the same.
