I am planning to go for the amnio test at Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok. I am very nervous. Please let me know if you have got this test done there. If so, whom would you recommend to do it? I would be really really grateful for any answer. I did a Integrated Prenatal Screening Test in USA and the test results are abnormal. I have been asked by the Dr to get the amnio done asap. Please let me know your expereince. I am new to Bangkok (just 2 weeks) and no one to ask.

An amniocentesis is scary as like many medical procedures it is entering the unknown. Actually it is not as scary as you would think. The Dr Ultrasounds you, finds a suitable pool of water, numbs the skin and inserts a needle to withdarw fluid. My patients who have had it peformed say it is a little more uncomfortable than having blood drawn from your arm but not much more. The tricky part of Amnio comes after the tap. Growing the cells so that the chromosomes can be studied, BH's genetic lab does a good job in this area.

Dr. Moreton, I see that you are based in Shanghai. I am pregnant and is staying in Beijing. Do you practice in Shanghai and do you conduct amniocentesis?
