Look, Doctor, Kathy is going to get her amnio in a few weeks, we'll see what happens then. |
You see the main complication of an amnio is that it can cause a miscarriage in a proportion of women. |
Monday I go in for an amnio to make sure our baby doesn't have Downs Syndrome or some other chromosome disorder. |
And yes you can get an amnio done just because you want one. |
But the risk of miscarriage from amnio increases with multiple births, though by exactly how much is unknown. |
The whole process is called an amniocentesis, or amnio, in the vernacular. |
