Amniocentesis is a medical procedure used for prenatal diagnosis, in which a small amount of amniotic fluid is extracted from the amnion around a developing fetus. It is usually offered when there may be an increased risk for genetic conditions (i.e. Down syndrome, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, etc) in the pregnancy.

Prenatal diagnosis is the diagnosis of disease or condition in a fetus or embryo before it is born. The aim is to detect birth defects such as neural tube problems, chromosomal abnormalities and other conditions to prepare the parents for the birth. Genetic counseling often accompanies prenatal diagnosis.
