What is the risk of miscarriage from amniocentesis?
Although it's often estimated to be between one in 200 and one in 400, there's no real consensus on the actual risk of miscarriage due to amniocentesis. One large recent study estimated the risk to be as low as one in 1,666, although some experts dispute the methodology used to arrive at this figure.

Because a certain percentage of women will end up miscarrying in the second trimester anyway, there's no way of knowing for sure whether a miscarriage following an amnio was actually caused by the procedure. Your particular risk depends in large part on the skill and experience of the doctor performing the procedure.

Is there any way to reduce the risk?
Ask your practitioner or genetic counselor to refer you to a doctor with plenty of experience, preferably one who does at least 50 amnios a year. And ask about the estimated procedure-related miscarriage rate of the doctor or the centre where you're considering having the procedure done.

You'll also want to make sure that an experienced registered diagnostic medical sonographer provides continuous ultrasound guidance during the procedure. This greatly improves the chances that the doctor will be able to obtain enough fluid on the first try and avoid having to repeat the procedure. And when continuous ultrasound guidance is used, injuries to the baby from the amnio needle are very rare.

 
>>> AmnioSense Test

The AmnioSense test looks for the presence of amniotic fluid leak during pregnancy. Unexplained wetness is common late in pregnancy and it is important to know if you have leaked amniotic fluid, rather than urine.

The AmnioSense product is a simple panty liner that allows you to continue your daily routine whilst it works to identify whether you may have leaked any amniotic fluid or not, thereby offering invisible protection for you and your baby. It should be used after 36 weeks of pregnancy and whenever a doctor suspects a higher risk than normal of amniotic fluid leakage.

Why do I need this test?

Leaking amniotic fluid increases the risk of infection to both mother and baby and early detection can help to:

• Prevent complications or premature birth.
• Identify a possible membrane rupture, especially after amniocentesis.
• Confirm that your water has broken so that you arrive at the hospital in time for a safe delivery.

As you wait for your baby, the AmnioSense gives you a little extra peace of mind - when you need it most. Risk of amniotic fluid leak are higher than normal during the 48 hours after amniocentesis tests, or when encountering unexplained wetness, or among women with family history of premature membrane rupture.

Indications for Use

Simply attach the special panty liner to your underwear and get on with your day. Wait until you feel a fluid leak, remove the indicator strip from the panty liner, and check for a change in colour. If the indicator strip is stained blue or green, amniotic fluid may be leaking from your uterus, or you may have a vaginal infection. You should consult your doctor, midwife or go to the hospital without delay.

If the indicator strip stains blue or green and then fades back to yellow, or if the colour does not change at all, the fluid leak is probably urine, which is common during pregnancy. For further diagnosis and medical care, report or show the results to your doctor. This product is designed to detect leaking amniotic fluid and identify cause of wetness during pregnancy. It can be used from week 36 onwards and also after amniocentesis. Positive results should be notified to your midwife or doctor for further diagnosis and medical care.

Package Contents for the seven test:

• seven panty liners
• seven plastic drying boxes
• instructions for use.

Conditions for Use

To ensure valid results, do not use the AmnioSense monitoring device if the answer to any of the following questions is YES:

1. Is it less than 12 hours after sexual intercourse?
2. Is it less than 12 hours after vaginal douching?

AmnioSense is recommended for use by all women after 36 weeks pregnancy and after amniocentesis.
