A member asked:
My daughter is 13 year old and she pregnant is it safe for her and her baby to have a amniocentesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best answered by OB: The individual health issues of any patient determine the safety of a given procedure. A 13 yo is probably better able to tolerate this procedure than many that will need it if her basic health is good. Her treating physician is best able to sort out the specifics of her case.
