I can omit poorly written description of fluid built up during pregnancy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amniotic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'written description of fluid built up during pregnancy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'i can omit poorly' is the wordplay.
'poorly' is an anagram indicator (a poor spelling).
'i'+'can'+'omit'='icanomit'
'icanomit' is an anagram of 'AMNIOTIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for amniotic that I've seen is " Fluid to protect an embryo".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
