Answer to Question 1

1000

The volume of amniotic fluid steadily increases from about 30 mL at 10 weeks of pregnancy to 350 mL at 20 weeks. The volume of fluid is about 1000 mL at 37 weeks. In the latter part of pregnancy the fetus may swallow up to 400 mL of amniotic fluid per day and normally excretes urine into the fluid.

Answer to Question 2

Wharton's jelly

Wharton's jelly is a substance in the umbilical cord that cushions and protects the vessels.
