thanks guys

Amniocentesis is for high risk pregnancy. It is not part of a routine pregnancy exam. Typically done on women with a high risk of down-syndrome or other chromosome risks. They do however do an ultrasound later in pregnancy to make sure that you still have enough fluid.

I had my last one at 37 weeks. .. it's pretty routine

I had 4... 1 to verify 1 for anatomy/gender 1 to check for a cleft pallet & any other physical deformities (because she wouldn't cooperate during the anatomy scan- would only show her privates but not her face😂) 1 to verify she was growing properly (my belly measured a week behind what she was measuring) and 1 to check my amniotic fluids

amniocentesis is when they stick a needle into your belly, through the uterus and pull out amniotic fluid. that has dangers of miscarriage, still birth, rupture of the sac or uterus. I would get a second opinion....

my last one was at 18 weeks and I don't get anymore

So far I had two and I'm 25 weeks

depends on your insurance. i only got 2 one to verify and the anatomy/gender
