∙ 16y agoI don't know about the amniotic fluid, but after my own birth the midwife told me my placenta was 1.5 lbs, and said that was a good healthy size. So I would speculate that a placenta is usually over one pound and under two pounds. Hope that helps!

How much amniotic fluid is your baby in?

How much is normal amniotic fluid at full term pregnancy?
1gallon
Can too much am-bionic fluid be a problem during pregnancy?
In most instances too much amniotic fluid is a benign finding during pregnancy, and the baby will be monitored with NST and biophysical profile ultrasound. In some cases too much amniotic fluid can be indicative of downs syndrome, diaphramic hernia, and anephomony.
How is the gorilla protected in the womb?
In much the same way as a human baby. The gorilla is enclosed in the amniotic sac and surrounded by amniotic fluid which cushions the unborn baby.
My water did not break and the doctor did not break it what happened?
probably just that you didn't have as much amniotic fluid (waters) in your body, so there wasn't much of a need
Is it normal to feel your unborn child on the inside but not on the outside of the stomach?
No, because it may simply suggest that you have polyhydramnios.Too much amniotic fluid.

Can water in a pregnant belly make it seem bigger?
Much of the content of the uterus during pregnancy is water-like amniotic fluid, in which the fetus floats.

What does it mean if I have too much amniotic fluid?
Congenital defects - The higher the fluid level, the increased chance of a congenital defect. These birth defects hinder swallowing, which can prohibit ingestion of the amniotic fluid, resulting in build up of fluid. Other birth defects could also include intestinal tract blockage or neurological abnormalities. Rh Factor - As screening for the Rh factor has increased, this is no longer a common cause of elevated fluid levels. Maternal Diabetes - Experts have found some correlation between diabetes and too much amniotic fluid. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome - This is a complication that can affect identical twin pregnancies. This syndrome is when one baby gets too much blood flow and the other too little due to connections between blood vessels in their shared placenta. Unknown Reasons - According to the Center for Maternal Fetal Medicine, about 65% of cases of polyhydramnios are due to unknown causes. Most cases of polyhydramnios are mild and result in few, if any, complications. Those with higher levels of fluid could experience one or more of the following risks: * Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) * Placental abruption * Preterm labor and delivery (approximately 26%) * Growth restriction (IUGR) resulting in skeletal malformations * Stillbirth occurs in about 4 in 1000 pregnancies that suffer from polyhydramnios vs. about 2 in1000 pregnancies with normal fluid levels. * Cesarean delivery * Postpartum hemorrhage Many cases of polyhydramnios are easily treated and do not result in complications if the pregnancy is monitored closely. Monitoring would include frequent sonograms measuring growth, biophysical profile and fetal assessment. Other treatments could include: * Medication that can reduce fluid production and are as much as 90% effective. This treatment is not used after 32 weeks gestation because of possible complications. * Amnioreduction is a procedure that can be used to drain excess fluids. This is done through amniocentesis, which may carry certain risks. There is, however, the chance that fluid could build back up even after draining. * Delivery of the baby Last Updated: 01/2007The amniotic fluid is part of the baby's life support system. It protects your baby and aids in the development of muscles, limbs, lungs and the digestive system. Amniotic fluid is produced soon after the amniotic sac forms, about 12 days after conception. It is first made up of water that is provided by the mother. After about 20 weeks into the pregnancy, it is primarily made up of fetal urine. As the baby grows, he or she will move and tumble in the womb with the help of the amniotic fluid. In the second trimester the baby will begin to breathe and swallow the amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid levels increase regularly until about 32-33 weeks gestation, and then they level off. In some cases the amniotic fluid may measure too low or too high. Normal fluid levels may vary, but are usually considered an AFI of 5-25 centimeters or a fluid level of about 800-1000 mL. If the measurement of amniotic fluid is too low it is called oligohydramnios. If the measurement of amniotic fluid is too high it is called polyhydramnios.http://www.americanpregnancy.org
