THE MEMBRANES AND AMNIOTIC FLUID

This is how your baby is beautifully wrapped in your womb like a gift🎁

Let me add that these babies as you can see in the image are wrapped in the membranes which protects them.

The membrane contains amniotic fluid which surrounds and support your baby till they are born

The membrane should not break when you are not term or in labor. If this happens prematurely, your water will leak and it can cause infection or reduced amniotic fluid.

Your waters breaking is an emergency and never stay home if it happens. Report to the hospital immediately!
