Do I have to do prenatal tests and amniocentesis?

Patient's question:

I have peripheral neuropathy. Since birth, I have had weakness in my limbs. I could sit at one year old and started walking with support at two and a half years old. To this day, I cannot walk independently. My mother also has this disease and could not walk since childhood. I suspect it is hereditary. In our family, apart from me and my mother, no one else has this condition.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! If you want to observe your child's development, you need to wait until after the 12th week of pregnancy to understand the fetal development through ultrasound or amniotic fluid examination.
