What are the sequelae of amniocentesis?

Amniocentesis is a relatively common diagnostic method, especially when the fetus is suspected to have malformations. In addition, if the fetus is suspected to be at high risk of Down syndrome, amniocentesis can also be performed. When performing amniocentesis, it must be performed in a regular hospital to avoid adverse effects and avoid causing some sequelae.

The first thing to note is that amniocentesis is not necessary for every mother. If your doctor orders an examination, the first thing to do after the examination is to rest. Be sure to get enough sleep and don't overwork or worry. In addition, pay attention to the following points:

1. Don’t take a bath. Women must rest within 24 hours after amniocentesis. Avoid prolonged activity and do not bathe. After 24 hours, you can resume your normal daily activities.

2. Rest in bed. Although you must exercise regularly during pregnancy, you must rest in bed after amniocentesis. Women may experience spotting or excessive vaginal discharge at this time. Just rest in bed for a few days and the condition will disappear completely.

3. Pay attention to body changes. This is a very critical link for female friends. Generally, within three days after the puncture, if symptoms such as pain, abdominal distension, fever, vaginal discharge or bleeding are very obvious, it cannot be ruled out that it is a dangerous signal. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

This is all the precautions after amniocentesis. I hope the above introduction can bring you some help. In addition, it is also recommended that female friends must develop a good mentality during pregnancy and not follow the crowd. Amniocentesis is not as scary as everyone imagines, and it is also a key part of ensuring the health of the fetus. After amniocentesis, you only need to rest for 24 hours to ensure your body is stable.
