Dr. Dolly Chavda provided exceptional care during my pregnancy. Her expertise in fetal medicine gave me peace of mind, and the entire team was incredibly supportive.
Overview
What is Amniocentesis?
Amniocentesis is a specialized prenatal test performed between 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy to assess the baby’s genetic health. The procedure involves extracting a small amount of amniotic fluid from the uterus for analysis, which contains fetal DNA and provides crucial insights into chromosomal and genetic conditions.

1
Preparation
A detailed ultrasound scan is performed to assess fetal position and locate the safest area for fluid extraction.
2
Sample Collection
A thin, sterile needle is inserted through the abdomen under ultrasound guidance to withdraw a small amount (15-20 ml) of amniotic fluid for testing.
3
Laboratory Analysis
The extracted amniotic fluid contains fetal cells and proteins, which are analyzed for chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders, and neural tube defects.
