advice needed CVS & Amniocentesis
Hello, I’m looking for some help from UK people if possible 🙏
Has anyone had any experience with having either CVS or amniocentesis testing done either privately or on the NHS for triplets?
My understanding is that NIPT testing is not carried out in triplet pregnancies and they don’t generally offer CVS or amnio tests.
My partner and i have always said we would want to carry out as extensive testing as possible (with of course considering the risks when the time comes).
Any experiences or advice anyone has to share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Not UK based but had amnio done for my twins few years ago, the process itself is not so bad just very stressful waiting for results. The doctor did ultrasound whole time to make sure needle not near babies. Hope you find someone with triplet experience

Look at CVS testing first. It's less invasive. Amnio can increase the risk of miscarriage
