A while ago, a treasure mother asked why amniotic fluid was called "amniotic fluid". Is it the same as the development environment of lambs, so it's called this? With this question, I consulted all kinds of ancient books and summarized the origin and legend of the word "amniotic fluid". This article will share the cold knowledge about fetal amniotic fluid and how to make amniotic fluid healthy and clear during pregnancy.
Amniotic fluid is also "nourishing water"
"Sheep" and "raising" are homophonic, and amniotic fluid provides a living environment for the fetus, which has many benefits for the development of the fetus. Without amniotic fluid, the fetus cannot survive, so it can also be called "nourishing water".
This ancient noun can also be called "Shui Yang"
Amniotic fluid, as an ancient term, has an untraceable origin. In ancient nouns, "sheep" and "yang" are interlinked, which means that people's lives cannot be separated from "yang". Initially, "amniotic fluid" was called "yang water", which represented the origin of life. Later, with the evolution of cultural knowledge, "Shui Yang" became "amniotic fluid".
medical term
The source of the word amniotic fluid, there is no exact word elegance, and most of them are folk sayings. But there is such a word "amniotic fluid" in medicine, which is translated as "amniotic fluid", which is more convincing.
I have seen such a video. When I was doing a four-dimensional B-ultrasound for my pregnant mother, I photographed the scene of the fetus drinking amniotic fluid. Lovely moments make people sigh the magic of life. So the function of amniotic fluid is not only to protect the fetus, but also to quench the baby's thirst or fill his stomach? There are mainly the following points about the function of amniotic fluid.
Protective effect on fetus
Pregnant mothers should know that it is not only the stomach that protects the fetus, but also the buffering effect of amniotic fluid. When a pregnant mother accidentally bumps into or squeezes her stomach, amniotic fluid can balance the external pressure, thus protecting the fetus from harm.
Maintain fetal body fluid balance
When there is too much water in the fetus, the excess water in the body will be discharged through urination; When there is too little water in the fetus, it will be supplemented by swallowing amniotic fluid. At the same time, the fetus exercises swallowing ability and promotes the development of digestive system through the action of "drinking amniotic fluid".
Conducive to childbirth
One of the signs of childbirth is "amniotic fluid rupture", which will lubricate the birth canal when amniotic fluid overflows from the birth canal. In this way, pregnant mothers will give birth more smoothly and help reduce vaginal injuries.
Amniotic fluid keeps the temperature in uterus stable.
As a protective substance for the fetus, amniotic fluid will keep the intrauterine temperature constant during the development of the fetus to prevent the fetus from being hot and cold. Protect the development of the fetus at room temperature.
Amniotic fluid plays a key role in maintaining fetal development. It is not normal for amniotic fluid to be less, more or turbid in advance. What should pregnant mothers do during pregnancy to keep amniotic fluid healthy and clear? The following advice is for pregnant mothers.
Get a glass of water early.
After getting up in the morning, pregnant mothers had better drink a large glass of warm water first. One is to clear the intestines, and the other is to replenish the water consumed during sleep. Because of pregnancy, pregnant women may sleep longer than others, and the fetus will consume a lot of water at night. A glass of water in the morning is good for both the fetus and the pregnant mother.
Drink more water after taking a bath.
A lot of water will be lost after exercise and bathing. Pregnant women lose water more easily than ordinary people because they are pregnant with their babies. At this time, pregnant women must replenish water in time, which is conducive to maintaining water balance in the body, and the baby will not drink "amniotic fluid" because of frequent thirst, resulting in a decrease in amniotic fluid.
It is best for pregnant mothers to drink fresh cold water.
When pregnant mothers drink water, not all water can be drunk, because once "drinking" is wrong, it will not only affect the health of pregnant mothers, but also easily endanger the health of the fetus. It is best for pregnant mothers to choose fresh boiled water to drink water, and avoid repeatedly boiled water and unboiled tap water (this water contains many harmful substances).
Message from CiCi's mother: It is often seen that many pregnant mothers will encounter too much amniotic fluid and too little amniotic fluid during prenatal examination. Slightly, it can return to normal through self-regulation, and seriously, it may endanger fetal health. So pregnant mothers must not ignore the role and significance of amniotic fluid. In addition to doing your job well, it is very necessary to do prenatal examination on time.
