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

Amniocentesis is a diagnosis which means the result is 100%. Unlike nipt or oscar, max is 99%. The procedure is not painful and it will be accompanied with ultrasound. I was told to do this because my oscar test was 1:10 which is extremely high risk. And yes my baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome after the amniocentesis test.
