Amniotic fluid aspiration is not actually a necessary examination during pregnancy. It is usually recommended by hospitals for pregnant women to undergo amniocentesis when high-risk conditions are detected through Down syndrome screening. Amniotic fluid puncture is an invasive examination, so it is important to rest after the examination. Can I cook after amniocentesis?
After amniocentesis, try not to cook or do household chores on the same day. It is best to rest for 3 days and avoid any strenuous exercise during this period, which can help the body recover better. During this period, expectant fathers can cook and do household chores. The accuracy of amniocentesis in detecting fetal diseases is extremely high. This is something that no detection technology can achieve.
As an invasive test, no one can fully guarantee that amniocentesis will not have any impact on the fetus or pregnant woman. What are the risks of amniocentesis:
1. Infection. Amniotic fluid puncture should be performed in a very strict disinfection and sterile environment. If the pregnant woman has an infection, bacteria can easily be introduced into the amniotic sac during the amniocentesis process. The serious consequence of infection is causing miscarriage or premature birth.
2. Rupture of fetal membranes. But this probability is very small. After amniocentesis, the incision will be examined again using ultrasound. If there is persistent discomfort such as colorless and transparent vaginal discharge or abnormal fetal movement after examination, it is necessary to contact a doctor in a timely manner.
