Is there any risk of amniocentesis?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I went for a prenatal screening test, where they drew blood for the test report. I asked the doctor to review the report, but unexpectedly, the doctor told me: "Your baby has a high risk of prenatal screening, and there is a risk of having a child with Down syndrome. It's best to have an amniocentesis for diagnosis. Do you know what the risks of amniocentesis are?"

Doctor's answer:

Amniocentesis does carry certain risks, but if the child is in a high-risk situation, it is necessary to have an amniocentesis at the hospital. It is recommended to go to a more formal hospital. In daily life, it is also important to pay close attention to your personal physical condition. Especially after amniocentesis, it is best to rest in bed and avoid unnecessary exercise. It is advisable to eat more foods that replenish qi and blood for regulation and digestion.
