Apa fungsi Amniotic fluid/air ketuban?? and What is Irritable Uterus (IU)?

Last friday, aku n Hubby ke Klinik Amal, scanning lagi...coz asik risau jer pasal baby...lagipun tetiba kat sekolah sebelah paginya, aku sakit lagi...sian kakak-kakak Kimia and Fiza...Risau pasal aku...

so, Dr said that I'm suffering the Irritable Uterus during Pregnancy...Ada jugak bendalah nih yer??? Dah ler Low Lying Placenta, Dr said I must have enough rest, kiranya senang cakap...kalau kat rumah tuh baring jer...bangun bila nak masak, makan or buat mende2 yang kene berdiri...
kalau aku penat, baby will stress and my uterus will cramp and causing the bleeding session...

when baby is stress, the amount/volume of amniotic fluid is decreasing...and that is danger....

so, this is several info on amniotic fluid..

Amniotic fluid or liquor amnii is the nourishing and protecting liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a pregnant woman. The amniotic sac grows and begins to fill, mainly with water, around two weeks after fertilization.

After a further 10 weeks the liquid contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, urea and electrolytes, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus. In the late stages of gestation much of the amniotic fluid consists of fetal urine.

The amniotic fluid increases in volume as the fetus grows. The amount of amniotic fluid is greatest at about 34 weeks after conception or 34 weeks ga (gestational age). At 34 weeks ga, the amount of amniotic fluid is about 800 ml. This amount reduces to about 600 ml at 40 weeks ga when the baby is born.

Amniotic fluid is continually being swallowed and "inhaled" and replaced through being "exhaled", as well as being urinated by the baby. It is essential that the amniotic fluid be breathed into the lungs by the fetus in order for the lungs to develop normally. Swallowed amniotic fluid contributes to the formation of meconium.

Irritable Uterus during Pregnancy (IU)

Irritable Uterus, in and of itself, may not cause a woman to deliver a premature baby. We, however, believe that an irritable uterus can and often DOES, in some mysterious way, trigger a woman’s uterus to start preterm labor, which can cause preterm birth.
