Amniotic fluid is a substance composed by water (more than 90%) and mineral salts, as well as other substances necessary for the growth of the fetus. The main functions of the amniotic fluid are nutrition, thermal regulation and protection of the unborn child from trauma, sounds and noises coming from the outside. From the 38th week of pregnancy the amniotic fluid will decrease, indicating that the fetus is preparing for birth. WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
