Introduction
Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds the fetus (unborn baby) as the fetus grows in the womb of the mother. It helps the developing baby to move in the womb and also prevents pressure on the umbilical cord. It can act as a shock absorber thus protecting the baby from external pressure. They can also aid in thermoregulation, control of infections, etc.
