Do elderly mothers need to have amniocentesis tests?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, a normal amniotic fluid index in the late stages of pregnancy is between 5-18. The current condition is considered normal, so there is no need to worry. You can have regular follow-up check-ups. If there is a situation of excessive amniotic fluid, it is possible that there may be malformations, and amniocentesis may be necessary if needed.
