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.
What is amniotic fluid and what is itâs purpose? Also referred to as the âbag of watersâ, the most pregnant women generally know about it is that about the time labor begins their amniotic sac will break, or be broken by their midwife or doctor, causing the start of the delivery process. They donât however know what its purpose is during a pregnancy. The amniotic fluid is the clear, slightly yellowish fluid within the amniotic sac that surrounds the baby in the uterus. The baby grows in this amniotic sac, surrounded by the amniotic fluid, as he learns to move his limbs, open his eyes and breathe. Amniotic fluid levels generally sit at approximately 800ml through most of the pregnancy, dropping slightly in most cases to about 600ml by the time a woman reaches the 40 week mark.
