Amniocentesis is performed when you have a higher risk of abnormalities etc. You generally choose whether you want to go ahead with the test because it does carry risks to the baby with possible miscarriage.

Basically, they pass a fine needle down through your abdomen, into your uterus and draw off some of the amniotic fluid. They then send the sample to the lab and it is tested for chromosomal abnormalities such as downs syndrome. The results can take up to 3 weeks.

Hope that helps

Thank you for explaining that to me, otherwise I would have never known lol So they can't do that with normal blood tests or is that before 10 weeks?

Congrats to the all clear though xxx

No flower. They remove the amniotic fluid because it contains the baby's skin cells. This is then cultivated in the lab (hence the waiting time for the results) From this, they can then test for the chromosome abnormalities.

Amnio can be performed FROM 15 weeks.

I hope I've got that right - but feel free to correct me on anything peeps lol

It must have been a tough decision of whether to have it or not, I often wonder if I'd have it if they thought it was necessary. At least babys well
