Amniocentesis is a technique to know the chromosomal abnormalities and fetal infections in the womb of mother. It is also used to determine the sex of the child. It is usually performed at 15 to 16 weeks of gestation. If it is done before 15 weeks, it will lead to miscarriage. Many women feel mild menstrual-like cramp after the test.
