  I did- on two separate ultrasounds around 29 and 30 weeks. I think my level was "9" (not sure on how that's measured.. But normally my level was around 5 or 6). They told me that in 60% of women it means nothing. It had corrected itself by 31 weeks. One tech told me that it depends on where the person measured the fluid - there will be more fluid in the area where there is only feet, for example. Maybe ask for a follow up ultrasound to check again? Or ask to see a MFM to make the call before the amnio?

  I had increased amino during my pg as well.  Mine was later in my pg and I was high normal for a long time and then at 39 wks it went high enough that they were concerned so they induced me.  At that point there concerns were for delivery not chromosomal issues.
  
  Tests early in my pg came back ass high risk for chromosomal abnormalities. I  had the Matert-T21 done early in my pg and decline the amino.  I would talk to the doctor with regards to how accurate the pamaroma test is, what they would do differently during your perinatal care if there does come back as a problem.  My peri said that in my case because of my age, when in the pg I had the MT21 test done, and the soft markers that they found she was very confident the I wasn't getting a false negative on the blood test.  Also, she said she wouldn't do anything different with my prenatal care then she would if the amino came back positive.  She wanted me to get a fetal echo cardiogram and come in for extra monitoring anyway.  For these reasons I decided that for me the risk of the amino wasn't worth it.
