Amniotic fluid is the fluid that fills the amniotic sac, which cushions and protects the developing baby.
Here's a breakdown:
* "Normo" means normal.
* "Hydramni" refers to amniotic fluid.
* "Ous" is a suffix meaning "full of" or "having the quality of."
Therefore, normohydramnious means having a normal amount of amniotic fluid. This is considered a healthy condition for pregnancy.
Note: The term "normohydramnios" is not commonly used in medical practice. Doctors typically use terms like "normal amniotic fluid volume" or "adequate amniotic fluid" to describe this condition.
