If the baby has problems in the mother's womb or if the woman cannot choose to have a child due to some special reasons, terminating the pregnancy is a way to say goodbye to the fate with the child. Of course, there are many methods for induced abortion, such as curettage and amniocentesis, each with its own characteristics. So what is the mechanism of amniocentesis induced labor?
The fetus lives in amniotic fluid in the mother's uterus, which not only provides nutrients for the baby, but also has a protective effect on the baby. In order to understand the developmental status of the baby, a puncture needle can be used to extract amniotic fluid from the amniotic membrane for testing, and the value of the test can be used to determine whether the pregnancy can continue. Of course, it takes three to four weeks to obtain the test results, but amniocentesis should not be performed when the fetus is too small or too large. It is not easy to succeed in amniocentesis when the fetus is too young.
Performing amniocentesis when the fetus is too big can easily lead to the fetus being too big and difficult to induce labor. So the time for amniocentesis induced labor needs to be mastered, usually around 16 to 20 weeks, and amniotic fluid can be extracted through the puncture needle. So increasing amniocentesis can determine whether one's baby is at risk of chromosomal abnormalities and whether there is a possibility of neural tube defects.
It is necessary to undergo amniocentesis, especially for high-risk mothers. It is the responsibility of every mother to have a healthy baby, so pregnant women with a high risk should go to the hospital for amniocentesis as soon as possible.
