Background: Amniotic fluid (AF) is a fluid that encompasses the fetus as it is growing in uterus and provides nutrients. The amniotic fluid index and maximum vertical pocket technique are two frequently used ultrasound tests to estimate amniotic fluid volume. Objective: The goal of study is to access AFV and to correlate AFI and MVP in second and third trimester. Method: In this study, 100 pregnant females of various ages in their second and third trimester were taken. Xario and Z-5 ultrasound Doppler devices with trans-abdominal (3.5-5MHz) probes were used. The FOUR QUARDRANT METHOD and SINGLE POCKET METHOD were used to determine the amount of amniotic fluid. The patient’s data were used with permission of ultrasound department at study site. Results: Out of 100 women, 40 were in their second trimester and 60 were in their third trimester. The AFI technique was used to evaluate the majority of the female patients (60%) and the maximum vertical pocket technique was used to assess 40 (40%) of the female patients. 12 (12%) of 100 patients had oligohydramnios, 18 (18%) had polyhydramnios, 4 females had hazy amniotic fluid, 13 (13%) had hypotension, 2 (2%) had hypertension, and only 1 (1%) had diabetes. Conclusion: Both AFI and SDP were used to determine fluid adequacy. These techniques are helpful in assessing oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios. The typical AFI range is among 5-22.
