Amniotic Fluid Origin and Production. The fluid is produced by the motherâs placenta during the first trimester and the early part of the second trimester, until the babyâs kidneys are mature enough to take over the task.
In a normal patient, amniotic fluid doesnât enter the maternal circulation system; it remains safely contained inside the uterus, sealed off by the amniotic sac.

The most likely time for this thankfully very rare event to occur is during delivery, or during a pregnancy termination.
