This procedure helps the doctor
to detect the possibility of genetic, metabolic or neurological disorders in
developing fetus.
When doing this?
Since amniocentesis presents
minimal risk of abortion, from less than 1% is indicated only for special cases
where it is important to confirm the health of the baby. If the mother is over
35 years, have a family history of genetic problems or be a carrier of any of
them, it is best to perform this test for early detection of fetal
abnormalities.
