Medical Genetics Amniocentesis involves potential danger to both mother and fetus Serious maternal risks are quite low but include amnionitis which can lead to fetal loss, haemorrhage or injury to an intra-abdominal viscus and leakage of amniotic fluid

Medical Genetics Fetal risks include spontaneous abortion needle puncture injuries, placental abruption, chorioamnionitis preterm labour, and amniotic band formation

Medical Genetics Several controlled studies have been done to evaluate the risks of amniocentesis. the data indicate that the risk of pregnancy loss attributable to amniocentesis may be as high as.5%
