Functions

Amniotic fluid is responsible for:

Protecting the fetus: The fluid cushions the baby from outside pressures, acting as a shock absorber.

Temperature control: The fluid insulates the baby, keeping it warm and maintaining a regular temperature.

Infection control: The amniotic fluid contains antibodies.

Lung and digestive system development: By breathing and swallowing the amniotic fluid, the baby practices using the muscles of these systems as they grow.

Muscle and bone development: As the baby floats inside the amniotic sac, it has the freedom to move about, giving muscles and bones the opportunity to develop properly.

Lubrication Amniotic fluid prevents parts of the body such as the fingers and toes from growing together; webbing can occur if amniotic fluid levels are low.

Umbilical cord support: Fluid in the uterus prevents the umbilical cord from being compressed. This cord transports food and oxygen from the placenta to the growing fetus.
