Did you know there are actually 2 layers to the membranes that encase baby with the amniotic fluid in utero?
There’s the amnion and the chorion. They seem like they are fused together, but can easily be pulled apart/off each other after birth. There’s a bit of a knack to it but maybe ask your midwife to show you?
But they don’t start off as one …👇🏻

In the very early weeks of pregnancy when the embryo forms and grows, the amniotic membrane also expands until it encloses the entire embryo, except for the umbilical area.
Between the 4th and 8th weeks of gestation, the production of amniotic fluid increases to reach approximately 20 mls. This causes the amnion to swell until it takes over the chorionic space, thus bringing the amnion and chorion in contact with each other. So clever.

From this point onwards the amniotic fluid volume increases from approx 350-450 mls at 20 weeks to 800-1000 mls at 36 to 39 weeks. It is expected to lessen slightly after this point but its not like it runs out and runs dry! Its still getting produced daily 👍🏼

It’s been suggested that adequate Vitamin C in pregnancy may reduce physiologically the risk of preterm/premature rupture of the membranes. Vitamin C is thought to contribute to the integrity and strength of these membranes, which makes a lot of sense given what else Vit C does in the body, when not pregnant!
Remember, Vitamin C is water soluble so we need it daily as we can’t store it well in the body.
