Amniotic fluid serves several important functions during pregnancy. It provides a cushion for the fetus, protecting it from external shocks or pressure. It also helps to regulate the temperature of the fetus and prevents heat loss. Additionally, amniotic fluid allows the fetus to move freely, promoting musculoskeletal development and helping with the development of the respiratory and digestive systems. Amniotic fluid also acts as a barrier to protect the fetus from infections and provides nutrients for the fetus to grow and develop.
