So I have to get an amnio done because I am a carrrier of SCID, and there is a 50/50 chance my son will have it. The appointment is next Wednesday, and I am extremely nervous about the risk of miscarriage and if it's going to hurt and things like that. Could anyone give me advice on how to make it a smooth appointment and what to expect?

What's SCID?

What you need to do is breathe, stay calm, and dont tense yourself. Trust your doctor. They will also be monitoring the babies position so that they can be sure they will not hit baby.
They are very carefull with the amnio. It only takes a minute, or two. It will be done before you know it.

Right now your baby is still quite small, and the womb is bigger. There is a lot of space in there. As long as you dont move, and allow them to get the needle where they need it, everything should be just fine.

SCID is severe combined immune difficiency. It's basically saying he won't have an immune system. @vella89 @babykamya2016
Would the fact he doesn't like to stop moving make the test more complicated? @gingermama

They said not to drink any caffeine, but I haven't been doing that anyways. Maybe I won't eat sugary foods and just drink water before @gingermama
