How much does it cost to do amniocentesis?

After a woman becomes pregnant, she needs to go to the hospital regularly for prenatal check-ups. Compared with other prenatal check-ups, amniocentesis is relatively expensive. However, it can check many conditions of the fetus. Although the cost of amniocentesis is relatively high, most people now do this test, which can check the baby's growth and development in all aspects, so mothers are best not to save the cost of this test. And before we check, it is also necessary for everyone to know how much money is actually needed.

The cost of amniocentesis is considered expensive among pregnancy checkups, and the examination fees vary depending on the hospital. The fees in large and medium-sized hospitals are a bit more expensive, about 1,000-2,000 yuan. The examination in the hospital is comfortable and safe. Don't go to a small hospital just to save money. This test is risky, so it is recommended that everyone go to a reliable hospital.

Before doing amniocentesis, you need to do B-ultrasound to determine the location and condition of the fetus to avoid injuring the fetus. After selecting the insertion point, disinfect the skin, spread a disinfectant towel, and perform local anesthesia. Then, the lumbar puncture needle with a needle core is inserted vertically into the selected area. There is a feeling of emptiness twice when the needle passes through the abdominal cavity and endometrium. Remove the needle core, use a 2ml syringe to suck out 2ml of the pregnant woman's amniotic fluid, and then use a 2b250l empty needle to suck out 2b250l of the pregnant woman's amniotic fluid. This is the whole process of amniocentesis examination.

Amniocentesis is a form of prenatal examination, which is generally suitable for prenatal examination in mid-pregnancy. The amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman is in the amniotic cavity. The best time to do amniocentesis is between 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the fetus is small and the pregnant woman has relatively more amniotic fluid. The fetus floats in the amniotic fluid with a wider amniotic fluid belt around it, so it is not easy to hurt the fetus during amniocentesis.
