Hello,
Low level of amniotic fluid or Oligohydramnios should be diagnosed only when there is a fluid volume less than 500 ml., amniotic fluid index less than 5 cm. or absence of a pocket of 2-3 cm. depth at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy. As your wife does not fit into any of these, I presume she is not having less liquor and as such, she can wait for normal labor, provided there is good monitoring facility. Regular sonogram that includes biophysical profile and stress test if needed helps in interference in case there is any evidence of fetal distress. Hope this helps.
