Amniocentesis: A Key Prenatal Genetic Test
The pregnancy journey is lovely, full of anticipation and joy. But there are also worries regarding the health of the unborn child. Thanks to recent developments in medicine, expectant parents can now use genetic testing to learn important information about their unborn child’s health. Amniocentesis is a crucial test that Seeds of Innocens provides with care and precision.
What is Amniocentesis?
A prenatal test called amniocentesis is carried out in the second trimester, usually between weeks 15 and 20 of pregnancy. Using a fine needle, a tiny amount of amniotic fluid is extracted from the womb. Fetal cells and proteins found in this fluid offer crucial details regarding the genetic well-being of the unborn child.
Why is Amniocentesis Done?
- This test is advised in some circumstances for the following:
- To test chromosomal anomalies such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome.
- To test genetic disorder conditions like sickle cell anaemia, cystic fibrosis, or Tay-Sachs disease.
- To assess neuro-tube anomalies, such as spina bifida.
- This test can be used to assess fetal lung maturity in high-risk conditions.
- Confirming infection or Rh incompatibility problems.
At Seeds of Innocens, our fetal medicine specialists will make the pregnancy test as safe and comfortable as possible, with precision.
How is Amniocentesis Performed?
The procedure is simple and takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
- The ultrasound identifies the baby and the safest point for withdrawing fluid.
- A thin, sterile needle is inserted gently through the abdomen into the amniotic sac.
- A small sample of amniotic fluid was withdrawn for laboratory analysis.
- The mother can rest during the day and return to regular activities the following day with only mild restrictions.
Our state-of-the-art genetic testing laboratory at Seeds of Innocens ensures accurate and timely results, enabling early intervention when necessary.
