Amniocentesis [English] Permalink Public
We do an amniocentesis (say am-nee-oh-sen-tee-sis) to take a small sample of the fluid that surrounds your baby in the womb (uterus). Many people refer to this test as an “amnio”. This sheet reviews the reasons for having an amnio, the risks, and the way we do the test. It also includes how to care for yourself afterwards, what to watch for, and who to call with concerns.
