Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a procedure used to withdraw a small sample of the amniotic fluid for testing.
Amniotic fluid is a clear, pale yellow fluid that
Protects the foetus from injury, infection
Allows the baby to move and develop properly
Helps control the temperature of the foetus

The test is used to diagnose
Birth defects
Genetic problems
Infection
Lung development

The test is typically done between the 15th to 34th weeks of pregnancy who are at greater risk for birth defects

Procedure
Under ultrasound guidance a long, thin needle is inserted into the amniotic sac.
A small amount of amniotic fluid is withdrawn into a syringe
A bandage will be placed over the needle site.
The amniotic fluid sample is sent to a genetic lab.

Some complications of an amniocentesis may include
Cramping
Leaking amniotic fluid from the needle puncture site or the vagina
Infection
0.1%-0.3% Risk of Miscarriage
