As you pass 35 years old, even it is a normal baby, the FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING result also is very high. So my OB let me did amoniosetesis directly. I was 37. First baby. I visited a genetic consultant before Amo -- referal by OB.
In my hospital, the miscarrage of Amo is 1/250. Comparing my baby abnormality ratio (1/140), it is lower.
My hospital is a large hospital. They can do it by specialist. It takes about 5 min. After you sign a sheet and get a INSTRUCTION sheet for after Amo, Ultrasould checks the baby's position, specialist clean your skin,then a large niddle passed through your belly and get around 30-50ml liqued...that's it!
As I finished it, there is a little bit pain/sour on your belly. (Please walk slowly after you have it). My hu*****and SLOWLY & GENTLY dirved my to home. I stay on bed for 1 day. NO fection, no fever...
2 weeks let, I called hospital and they tell me very thing is fine and it is "little" boy!
BTW: If my baby was abnormal, I would do abortion. Before 21 weeks of pregnacey in our state, abortion is legal.
Of course, anything can has risk. You and your hu*****and need make your own decision.
