Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How many weeks into pregnancy can an amniocentesis be performed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, amniocentesis is performed in clinical diagnosis to conduct further prenatal diagnosis for many high-risk Down syndrome screening cases. The best time for the examination is generally around 15 to 20 weeks, when the amniotic fluid is uniform and the embryo's growth and development are good, making it less likely to experience a miscarriage. After the procedure, it is important to rest in bed for a period of time and closely monitor changes in fetal heart rate and fetal movement.
