Can I have a second amniocentesis?

Patient's question:

I had an amniocentesis for DNA testing, but the results of the screening test have not come out yet. If it's not, can I still have a second amniocentesis? I'm worried about the impact on the fetus!

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: DNA testing is more accurate than prenatal screening, and it is not necessary to wait for the prenatal screening results.
Advice: However, I don't know why you are undergoing a second amniocentesis? Did the first one not yield results?
