What is "amniotic fluid"?
Amniotic fluid is the clear, slightly yellowish liquid that surrounds and protects the baby in the womb during pregnancy. It acts as a shock absorber, helps keep a steady temperature, and allows for movement and development. This fluid is contained in the amniotic sac, which is a thin layer that lines the uterus.
Example

Adequate levels of amniotic fluid are essential for the baby's lung development.
The ultrasound revealed a healthy amount of amniotic fluid around the baby.
The baby floats in the amniotic fluid, providing protection and cushioning.
