A member asked:

I want to know what is the reason of water in the womb during pregnancy i'm 27weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cushioning: Not only does amniotic fluid provide cushioning as a shock absorber, and insulation for the fetus, but the fetus actually "recirculates" the fluid by drinking it and urinating into that space.
