The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy, providing oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus and facilitating waste removal. In contrast, amniotic fluid is the clear liquid surrounding the fetus in the amniotic sac, serving to cushion and protect the fetus, as well as helping to regulate temperature. While both are crucial for fetal development, they serve distinct roles in supporting the pregnancy.
An amniotic fluid embolism is a complication of pregnancy characterized by movement of amniotic fluid past the placenta.
Amniotic membrane or amniotic sac, containing the embryo and amniotic fluid.

Usually 3-5lbs in addition to the weight of the baby, for the placenta and amniotic fluid.
Lambing fluid is the amniotic fluid that surrounds the lamb in the placenta - it helps cushion the lamb whilst it is growing inside its mother. It also assists in the delivery of the lamb when it is born.
It is the sack that surrounds the fetus in the womb/uterus. It contains the amniotic fluid and has the umbilical cord passing through it.
AO on an ultrasound typically refers to the "amniotic fluid index" (AFI), which assesses the amount of amniotic fluid surrounding a fetus. It is an important measurement during pregnancy as it can indicate the health of the fetus and the placenta. Adequate amniotic fluid is crucial for fetal development, while low or high levels may suggest potential complications.
The amniotic fluid is clear
