Patient's question:
I took cold medicine in the early stages of pregnancy and am a bit worried about the fetal growth and development. I want to have an amniocentesis done. I heard that the prices vary from place to place. How much does an amniocentesis cost in Shaanxi?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the cost of a detailed chromosome check through amniocentesis is approximately 2,500 yuan, but the actual fee depends on the hospital you visit for follow-up. Amniocentesis is usually performed between weeks 16 and 24 of pregnancy. It can also be done through non-invasive DNA testing, both of which serve the same purpose and have similar costs. During pregnancy, it is necessary to obtain a maternity health record. It is recommended to choose a regular public hospital obstetric outpatient department for regular prenatal check-ups. Amniocentesis generally requires early booking.2. Pay attention to properly enhancing nutrition during pregnancy to ensure the growth and development needs of the fetus, and pay attention to rest.
