A member asked:

Is amniocentesis on twins safe?

Dr. Braden Richmond answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Relatively.....: Amniocentesis is invasive, and the risk of ruptured membranes, and possible miscarriage, is at the rate of 1/110-1/200. There is the risk of misinformation by not sampling one, or both, of the sacs, as well.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
