Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am a pregnant woman, and I have had a previous threatened miscarriage. I will soon need an amniocentesis, and I am very worried about experiencing another accident. I would like to ask you here for advice: what is the risk of an amniocentesis for a pregnant woman with a history of threatened miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of threatened miscarriage are definitely not suitable for amniocentesis. If amniocentesis is performed, it may lead to uterine contractions, which could exacerbate the symptoms of threatened miscarriage. Therefore, this is a contraindication. For your condition, I recommend that you first focus on preserving the pregnancy and treatment. You should wait until the symptoms of threatened miscarriage subside before considering the procedure, which is relatively safer. Additionally, while taking medication, it is important to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity.
