Amniocentesis: Amniotic Fluid Test in Pregnancy

Posted at May 15th, 2010 by admin

http://www.nucleusinc.com This 3D medical animation depicts an amniocentesis procedure to test the amniotic fluid during pregnancy. This is performed to let doctors detect or rule out problems with a baby’s health long before birth. An ultrasound is to create an image of the fetus and nearby structures on a computer screen, before choosing a safe place to insert the needle. A thin needle is then introduced through your abdominal wall, into your uterus, and into the amniotic sac to withdraw a small sample of amniotic fluid. ANH0009

    What a wonderful 3D medical animation. I had this done during my first pregnancy, and having this at the time would have calmed some of my fears during the procedure and given me a better understanding of why the doctors did it.
