AmniocentesisAmniocentesisHow It FeelsYou will feel a sharp sting or burn in
your belly where the needle is inserted. This lasts for only a few seconds.
When the needle is put into your uterus, you again will feel a sharp cramp for
a few seconds. When the amniotic fluid is taken out, you may get a
feeling of pulling or pressure in your belly. To keep yourself comfortable,
breathe slowly and relax your belly muscles during the test. Medical Review: Sarah Marshall, MD - Family Medicine Siobhan M. Dolan, MD, MPH - Reproductive Genetics Last Updated: April 4, 2012 |
