Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. L arginine is effective in increasing the amniotic fluid, but studies are lacking to prove its effects. It is rather more effective if you drink at least 3-4 litres of fluids in a day, as it surely increase the amniotic fluid levels in one week. Do take adequate rest and have restricted physical activity. Take ahigh protein diet.
