How many weeks can you do an amniocentesis if you are pregnant?

Patient's question:

How many weeks can amniocentesis be done? How much does it cost?

Doctor's answer:

Amniocentesis should be performed carefully between the 16th and 21st weeks of pregnancy. These tests carry certain risks, which may lead to miscarriage, and the examination costs are not low. DNA testing requires going to a designated location to be conducted, and the price is relatively expensive, generally only available in well-equipped hospitals. Amniocentesis also requires high expertise from the doctor. It is recommended that you seek treatment in a regular hospital. The cost is approximately 700 yuan.
