What is the job of amniotic fluid?

It helps to protect and cushion your baby inside the amniotic sac and protects against infection to the baby and your uterus. Amniotic fluid also plays a vital role in the development of internal organs, such as the lungs and kidneys.

Its a very important part of being pregnant, Im 17 weeks and my fluid is on the low side, which is so worrying, The fluid protects baby helps baby feed grow everything to be honest.

This protective liquid, consisting mostly of water, fills in the sac surrounding and protecting the fetus.

Protection, comfort, it keeps the baby's pH balanced to develop, and also keeps his/her temperature stable
