Amnio (Amniocentesis)
A fine needle is guided by Dr Bryan Beattie (Consultant in Fetal Medicine) using ultrasound through the abdominal wall into the amniotic sac to allow a small sample of amniotic fluid to be taken for genetic tests or other studies. Amniocentesis is usually done after 15 weeks whereas CVS can be done from 11-13 weeks. The miscarriage rate is 0.5%.
