While in-utero the fetus does swallow the amniotic fluid and they breathe the amniotic fluid it is how they practice for life outside the womb. There are no complications to this unless the fetus has had a bowel movement otherwise known as meconium. This could lead to respiratory infection after birth. It is known as meconium aspiration, and usually if they see when your water breaks that he has done this they will have a neonatoligist there to help in suctioning out the lungs and usually there is a good out come. Other than that for the fetus to swallow it is fine because the fetus will filter it with their kidneys and then urinate it back into the amniotic sack.

The fetus swallows some of the amniotic fluid, further aiding in its growth and development.
