Amniocentesis Test Procedure - Amniocentesis test is a prenatal test that can detect genetic abnormalities in a developing fetus. At Mother and Fetuses Medical Center Hospital, we offer this test to expectant mothers who are at a higher risk for chromosomal or genetic disorders.
During the procedure, a thin needle is inserted through the mother's abdomen and into the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus. A small sample of amniotic fluid is then collected and analyzed in a laboratory to detect any abnormalities.
Amniocentesis is typically performed between the 15th and 20th week of pregnancy and can provide information about genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia.
While amniocentesis is a highly accurate test, it does carry a small risk of miscarriage. Our team of experienced doctors and genetic counselors will discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with you to help you make an informed decision.
If you are considering amniocentesis, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our team at Mother and Fetuses Medical Center Hospital. We are committed to providing personalized and compassionate care to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your baby.
