Amniocentesis

visualization of ultrasound a thin needle is inserted through the abdominal and
uterine walls to withdraw amniotic fluid into a syringe. Sufficient fluid must be
present for the test to be done, usually 15 to 17 weeks gestation. Check for genetic
disorder, levels of AFP, neural tube defects, and chromosomal defects. Minimal
risk of abortion in late pregnancy. Check Rh compatibility.
