Do I need to have an amniocentesis
What is Amniocentesis and Do You Need It? Amniocentesis is performed during pregnancy and is done to examine your baby's chromosomes. The procedure involves removing amniotic, fluid which is then studied to detect certain fetal disorders.
Benefits of Amniocentesis Why get an Amniocentesis? The benefits of Amniocentesis allow you to detect chromosome problems such as Down Syndrome or Spina Bifida. In addition, if you have a history of genetic disease in your family, further testing may be needed.

- Spotting, cramping or light bleeding
- Fewer than 1 in 200 women may have a miscarriage as a result (2004-2005 California Pacific Medical Center)
- Contractions or abdominal pain
