"Õnnesärgis sündinud", öeldi vanasti lootekotis sündinud laste kohta. Sellistele lootekestadele omistati maagilisi omadusi
Look at this beautiful baby...still in her sac. She doesn't even know she has been born right into her mother's hands. 🎉💞
Did you know that the bag of waters, otherwise known as the amniotic sac or the caul, is made up of two layers of membranes?
The outer layer of the sac which you can see being pealed back is called the chorion. The amnion is the inner layer of the amniotic sac.
An Amniotomy, also known as artificial rupture of membranes and by the lay description "breaking the water," is the intentional rupture of the amniotic sac by an obstetrical provider.
This procedure is commonly used to "speed up your labor" ...which is not a good idea unless there's a real medical emergency.
Do not let your doctor break your water prematurely without your consent and do not let doctors perform cervical exams because doctors will use this opportunity to break your water.
Your baby along with your placenta and cord are all protected by your amniotic sac against direct pressure which are caused by powerful surges/contractions.
