I have amnio appointment next week i am really scared. where do they insert needles ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Near belly button.: Amniocentesis/cvs are no longer the sole options to determine fetal dna make-up! non-invasive tests from the maternal blood can now isolate fetal dna without the risks and discomfort of amniocentesis/cvs. If amniocentesis is still your decision, rest assured that it does not hurt and that it is very brief. The needle used is very fine and introduced typically below your belly button near mid-line.
