Introduction :-)
The <em>amniotic fluid</em> is the protective liquid contained by the <em>amniotic sac</em> of a <em>gravid amniote</em>. This <em>fluid</em> serves as a cushion for the growing <em>fetus</em>, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between <em>mother</em> and <em>fetus</em>.
Importance :-)
- <em>It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.</em>
- <em>It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.</em>
- <em>It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.</em>
- <em>It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.</em>

Formation :-)
<em>Amniotic fluid </em>is present from the formation of the <em>gestational sac.</em> <em>Amniotic fluid </em>is in the <em>amniotic sac.</em> It is generated from <em>maternal plasma</em>, and passes through the <em>fetal membranes</em> by <em>osmotic</em> and <em>hydrostatic forces</em>. When <em>fetal kidneys</em> begin to function around week 16, <em>fetal urine</em> also contributes to the <em>fluid.</em> In earlier times, it was believed that the <em>amniotic fluid</em> was composed entirely of <em>fetal urine</em>.
The <em>fluid</em> is absorbed through the <em>fetal tissue</em> and <em>skin</em>. After <em>22 to 25 week </em>of<em> pregnancy</em>, <em>fraternization</em> of an <em>embryo's skin</em> occurs. When this process completes around the <em>25th week</em>, the<em> fluid</em> is primarily absorbed by the <em>fetal gut</em> for the remainder of <em>gestation</em>.
<em>Contents :-)</em>
At first, <em>amniotic fluid</em> is mainly water with <em>electrolytes</em>, but by about the <em>12-14th week</em> the <em>liquid</em> also contains <em>proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea</em>, all of which <em>aid</em> in the growth of the <em>fetus</em>.

The nurse should provide following information to the patient to prevent constipation: addition of whole-grain cereal, cessation of laxative use, increase in liquid intake, eating fresh vegetables.
Constipation is a problem of the digestive system. The symptoms include less bowel movement, hard stools than can be painful, and the feeling that stool has not completely passed. The causes for the same can be less fiber diet, low intake of fluids, immobility of the body, no exercise, etc.
Laxative is the medicine for treating constipation. The intake of laxatives should be accompanied with intake of plentiful fluids as well.
