AMNIOCENTESIS

Overview

Amniocentesis is a safe and precise prenatal diagnostic test that helps assess your baby’s genetic health.

Performed under the guidance of Dr. Shweta Bhandari, this procedure provides valuable information to detect chromosomal abnormalities, ensuring informed decision-making and peace of mind for parents.

Why Amniocentesis is Done

Amniocentesis helps identify:

  • Chromosomal disorders (e.g., Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13)
  • Genetic conditions inherited from parents
  • Fetal infections or lung maturity assessment in specific cases

It is typically performed between the 15th and 20th week of pregnancy and is recommended for mothers with higher risk factors or abnormal screening results.

Our Approach

Dr. Bhandari ensures accurate, minimally invasive procedures using advanced ultrasound guidance.

Parents receive detailed counselling before and after the test to understand the procedure, results, and potential next steps.
