Hi, I would like to know something more about the amniocentesis procedure. My wife is in the second month of the pregnancy and since she is 35 years old she has decided to go for that kind of procedure. So, can you tell me if that procedure is painful or not?
Well, the procedure itself might be a bit discomforting but it is necessary and might prove important because it can tell us whether the pregnancy should be ended or not. The process is simple, an injection needle is inserted thought the abdomen into the amnion area and the sample of the fluid is taken. It is a short process, it ends in no time.
