On average, the normal volume of amniotic fluid at 37 weeks is about 1000 mL or 1 L (34 fl oz). While this volume can vary significantly from one pregnancy to another, during late pregnancy a volume of less than 400 mL (13.5 fl oz) is called oligohydramnios; more than 2000 mL (68 fl oz) is called polyhydramnios.
