What is Amniotic about?

Amniotic fluid, produced from fetal metabolism, plays crucial roles in protecting the fetus, allowing movement, and facilitating exchanges with maternal circulation. Its volume increases during pregnancy, peaking at about 1L in the third trimester, and its chemical composition changes as fetal urine production begins. Various tests on amniotic fluid can assess fetal well-being and maturity, including measurements of bilirubin, alpha-fetoprotein, and lecithin-sphingomyelin ratios.
