The baby floats inside the amniotic sac, a double walled sac filled with amniotic fluid. This watery environment protects the baby as he grows and allows him to move around freely. Too much or too little amniotic fluid can indicate a problem with the baby. Some of the baby’s cells are present in the amniotic fluid so if necessary a sample of the fluid can be taken and checked to detect certain conditions in the baby such as Down’s syndrome.
