Definition: In Greek mythology, "amnioclepsis" refers to the process by which a female fetus is expelled from the womb after birth. During this period, the uterus transforms into an amnion, a protective sac surrounding the baby's developing body. The amniotic sac can be ruptured at any time, but if it does rupture, the amniotic fluid and blood vessels are left in the uterus. Amnio is a part of the amniotic membrane, which contains fluids that help maintain the normal development and function of the placenta.
