About amniocentesis?

Question

So recently I was hospitalized after a bad car accident and in the trauma center they stuck two needles into my pelvis. Im pretty sure they were doing an amniocentesis, but Im not 100%. Anyway, I have heard from a lot of women here lately that they recommend NOT having one even when its available to you because it can lead to leaking fluids and/or other complications. I am just wondering if any of you could offer some opinions or experience with these? You all know of women that like to tell horror stories about their pregnancies and scare the first time moms. :)

Answer 1

I don'tknow anyone who had this done or anyone who would want this done I have heard nothing but bad things about it!

Answer 2

they shouldn't have given you an amniocentesis unless you signed a waiver. ask your doctor if he ordered it.
