| That means that about one woman in every 100 having an amniocentesis will suffer a miscarriage as a result. |
| The amniotic fluid may be discolored by blood from a previous amniocentesis, excess vernix, or meconium. |
| Occasionally, intersex conditions are diagnosed before birth, through amniocentesis, or occasionally, by an ultrasound. |
| Prenatal tests including amniocentesis and ultrasound may help to determine whether the fetus is infected. |
| My husband and I stated that we would not undergo an amniocentesis and were given a highly sophisticated ultrasound instead. |
| If the father cannot be found or refuses to take part it is possible to test the fetus by amniocentesis. |
