Talk:Amniotic fluid

Nourishing ???
Nourishment is through blood, the embryonic fluid not being eggshell protein. The unborn infant pisses in that, shits in that, that little that is does shit and pee. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.79.47.55 (talk) November 16, 2012

Amniotic fluid of other mammals?
This article referes to only human, what about other mammals? How this helps feed the baby is also not explained. I have found uses of this fluid (of cow) as plant boosters! Nothing of such uses is given here. I very much feel the article needs to be expanded to introduce all such aspects of this fluid. Pathare Prabhu (talk) 05:34, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Amniotic Fluid page
Contains a picture of an aborted foetus. I think for sensitivity this should be removed. FraserMackie (talk) 20:04, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not censored. 2601:800:8201:2030:CCF:ECF1:CF7D:7535 (talk) 23:01, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not. So? What follows? Besides, there used to be "spoiler warning"-type blinds on disturbing images (at least on Polish wiki, mostly used for nudity) – would this be censorship too? 89.64.12.232 (talk) 17:44, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Lung development as a function of Amniotic Fluid Pressure
The article conflicts with itself stating the fact that amniotic fluid is essential for lung development (this is why vescoamniotic shunting procedures are performed), while also stating "Contrary to popular belief, amniotic fluid has not been conclusively shown to be inhaled and exhaled by the fetus. In fact, studies from the 1970s show that in a healthy fetus, there is no inward flow of amniotic fluid into the airway." The source for that is also original research. livingfractal (talk)
