Overview
Amniotic fluid analysis is a medical procedure used to assess the health of a fetus during pregnancy. It involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding a fetus and examining it for abnormalities in the baby's development. Results of the analysis can indicate the health of the fetus, and can be used to rule out or diagnose certain birth defects or diseases. Amniotic fluid analysis can also provide information about the baby's gestational age and help to determine whether labor should be induced or not. The procedure is safe and vital for the diagnosis and management of complex fetal problems.
