    Amniotic fluid is removed from the mother by an amniocentesis procedure, where a long needle is inserted through the abdomen into the amniotic sac, using ultrasound guidance such that the fetus is not harmed. Amniocentesis is a low risk procedure, with risk of pregnancy loss between 1 in 1,500 – 1 in 700 procedures.

    In this procedure, a thin needle is inserted into the abdomen of the pregnant woman. [4] The needle punctures the amnion, which is the membrane that surrounds the developing fetus. [4] The fluid within the amnion is called amniotic fluid, and because this fluid surrounds the developing fetus, it contains fetal cells. [4]
