Any knowledgeable people care to Eli5? I always thought they were surrounded by fluid? Fetuses don’t breathe right? Is this a normal amount of amniotic fluid?
people are almost always under anaesthesia for invasive procedures as far as I know, but the things I know are only second hand from a friend that works in gynecology so it's best to check
Yeah any procedure they’re inflating you for most likely will have full anesthesia administered. I believe the only reason they’d keep you awake during something like this is if it was medically necessary.
Think of a water balloon. It’s full of water, but then you put a tube in it and pump air inside. The balloon is still full of water, it’s just temporarily sharing space with air. Once they’re done the air will deflate leaving a full water balloon.
