Amniotic fluid is a clear, slightly yellow colored fluid surrounding fetus in amniotic sac. Amniotic fluid protects the fetus from injury and temperature changes. It allows fetus to move freely during development. It also acts as shock absorber. Antibodies present in amniotic fluid protects baby from infections. Amniotic fluid has been used as one of the reliable tool for screening of different congenital anomalies. There are two types of amniotic fluid disorders, polyhydramnios and oligohydramnios. Present study is about finding prevalence of amniotic fluid disorders in fetal anomalies.
