Talk:Amniocentesis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The entire risk section needs to be cited from something. Who knows if anything there is valid?

The PROCEDURE section seems to be casually worded, especially in the last sentence (...You or your doctor...)Derekbd 00:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ==

Regarding the risks of amniocentesis. I am not an expert but I have read a note at the gynecologist's where the management of the hospital asked doctors to inform patients about the 2% risk of miscarriage after amniocentesis. Before that the official number was 1%. They even stated they did 200 tests last year and had 3 miscarriages as a direct result and 1 as a more complicated but related reason. Please somebody get this right and include the sources. I think it is important. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drevokocur (talkcontribs) 11:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
