[quote=Anonymous]I had 2 amnios and in neither occasion was I offered an anesthetic. It really was not painful, less than the flu shot I think, but I got a little bit of cramping during and for 15-20 min after. For me it helped not to watch the needle go into my belly. Be prepared because the needle and the syringe are big. Just look away and know that thousands of women do it everyday and risks are very very low. Our geneticist at GW told us that the chance of miscarriage is less than one in a thousand. It is much more likely for a baby to be born with a birth defect (I believe that is 3%) and in my case twice the likelihood of the baby being born without down syndrome (my risk was 1 in 400)[/quote]
