Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How long after getting pregnant does the amniotic fluid start to form?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, amniotic fluid is present around 8 weeks of pregnancy. In the early stages, the amniotic fluid is a dialysate that enters the amniotic cavity from maternal serum through the fetal membrane. At 8 weeks of pregnancy, the amount of amniotic fluid is approximately 5-10 ml. After 16-18 weeks of pregnancy, the only source of amniotic fluid is the fetus's urine. At this stage, the amount of amniotic fluid increases, and the normal range for the depth of amniotic fluid is 3.0-8.0 cm, while the amniotic fluid index ranges from 8.0-18.0 cm. If the amniotic fluid is normal, there is no problem.
