Tell me about Amnio

TX-BrideTX-Bride member
in Pregnant after 35

I am going Friday morning for Amnio and I am getting a little nervous. They have told me to make sure I have someone with me to drive me back. DH wasn't going to miss this anyways, so that's not an issue. Also asked me to have 24 hours bedrest.

If you already had an amnio, what was the procedure like? was it painful? Is there a discomfort afterwards?

    Had it 2x.  For me, no pain after.  Only pain during the procedure from the needle.  Was not fun but nothing bad for me.  The anticipation is worse for me.

    It was painful during the procedure...no pain afterwards.  They will keep reminding you to breath. (I think it is normal to try and hold your breath to get through the worst moments of it)

    The doctor is usually very quick about it...the whole thing should not take more then about 10 mins. (If that)  

    Just hold DH's hand...concentrate on breathing....you will be ok.

    I went by myself and had no problems driving home.  The needle insertion was more uncomfortable than painful - it was right near my belly button - and I seem to remember it was itchy later that day. 

    This was with Son No.1; with No.2, we just did the NT scan and MaterniT21.

    Son #1 is already 2! Not too much longer until Son No.2 arrives! Lilypie Maternity tickers

    I had one and the procedure did hurt, but I went right into work afterwards. I just closed my eyes and did a lot of deep breathing while it was being done. Good luck!
