3.12 Amniotic fluid

-Surrounding the uterus space is the amniotic fluid where it can protect the embryo


-This is because the fluid which is largely water can not be compressed. If we squeeze the fluid, it absorbs the pressure. 


- Any force applied to the uterus wall will absorb the pressure and prevent damage to the unborn child.
