The machines which have been used for data collection were Xarioand Z-5 ultrasound Doppler machines with transabdominal (3.5-5MHz) probes. A group of 100Pakistani married female patients of different age groups was included. These patients werehaving normal criteria of second and third trimester (14-40 weeks gestational age). Results:100 married female patients were selected having different age group. There were no significantdifference found in the means of large pocket volume and four pocket volumes of second andthird trimester of pregnancy. Conclusion: Ultrasound plays an important role in assessment ofamniotic fluid volume.
