Can people with cold and cough undergo amniocentesis?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask, if you have a cold, can you still do this amniocentesis?? It's all my fault, it's my fault that I wasn't careful enough to take care of my wife, and she got a cold. But I didn't want to either. Who can help me? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

A cold does not affect the results of amniocentesis. Amniocentesis is a type of invasive prenatal diagnosis. Generally, we first take the mother's blood for screening. After screening, if the mother is reported to have a certain risk level, and if the child has abnormalities, what is the risk. In newborns, generally, doctors will advise women with signs of amniocentesis risk to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
