#Sequential screening liquid behind neck free

Lai's office (miami)is the way (*only* way in my opinion) to go if one is considering a CVS or even an amnio (I say this because regular OBGYNs regularly do amnios, but personally I like to go to a SPECIALIST for these kinds of (risky!)things- someone who does them day in and day out- not a 'general' doctor like an OBGYN.agian, MY opinion.įeel free to send me a private message if you'd like to However, if someone in your position (not saying you!)might want to terminate the pregnancy due to results of the amnio, OR even has a tiny little bit of *thought* in that direction (PLEASE NO ONE 'FLAME ME!' I'M BEING HONEST HERE!), then she should consider CVS (chlorianic villae sampling) that is done at about 13 weeks (a person would have to call the dr.to be sure!)- it is a *bit* more invasive than the amnio, but it's so much EARLIER that, God Forbid, it was medically necessary to terminate then it's not so far along as the amnio!ĭr. Meaning, if it's 'only' to prepare yourself mentally, then perhaps the screening is all you *need*. I suppose the important question to ask yourself is Let me know if you have any other questions.also I can recommend a good perinatologist if you need one. If you are making a life-or-death decision, then you want to be 100% sure.if this is the case I would choose the amnio.

My question would be, what would you do with the information you received? If you would absolutely continue the pregnancy no matter what the results of the amnio, (as I would), then I would just do the sequential screening and get as much information as I could to educate myself without posing any risk to my unborn child. That having been said, if I were in your situation.I mean I'm 45 now, and if I got pregnant tomorrow, I'm not sure I would want to take ANY risk. Your procedure is much simpler they only need to get a little bit of fluid to make a diagnosis. As a patient I had it done NINETEEN times!! My second pregnancy I had twins with complications, and they needed to take off the extra fluid. I know a little about this, as a doctor and a patient! I'm an anesthesiologist, not an obstetrician, but amnio is relatively safe.
