Baby neck thickness

I had Oscar & NIPT test today, after detailed scanning my gynae told me my baby's neck thickness of 4.1 is above average of 2.5 so she advised me to forgo the NIPT test since it only test for down syndrome and to proceed with amnio test instead. Couldn't stop crying as I'm so worried for my baby and decide to follow gynae's advice. The 5 tubes of blood for NIPT have to be discarded. Anyone have done amnio test before? Can advise how it's like? Will it be painful? And how was your test result? #1stimemom #advicepls

Hi, I did amniocentesis at week 16 as I went for NIPT twice but both times low fetal dna so they couldn't run the test. Amniocentesis procedure was seamless and not really painful (no local anaesthesia used but it will just feel like a normal blood taking kind of sensation). Doctor and you could see where baby is when the needle goes in so they will avoid baby. My test results were thankfully OK and I'm now in week 29. All the best to u and I hope all goes fine!!!
