    The amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus is produced by the amniotic epithelium and fetal excretions. It is filtered by the placenta and contains fetal waste which is swallowed and absorbed by the fetus. As the fetus matures, more fluid is swallowed, with fluid volume peaking at around 600-1200mL by the third trimester. The fluid is metabolized and excreted by the fetus and placenta in a constant cycle throughout pregnancy.
