What Is the Function of the Amniotic Fluid?
Amniotic fluid plays an important role in supporting the fetus during pregnancy. The mother's body produces amniotic fluid as soon as 2 weeks after conception. As the pregnancy continues, the amniotic fluid helps the baby move around inside the womb, and supports the development of the baby.
Function
The most important role of the amniotic fluid is to protect the baby against physical shocks from outside. It also helps the baby to move around in the womb, consequently, allowing the baby to develop her muscles. The amniotic fluid is typically 1 degree Celsius higher than the mother's body temperature. This helps the baby to maintain her body temperature.
