Answer:

Answer to the following question is as follows

Step-by-step explanation:

Following amniocentesis, your doctor will continue to use ultrasonography to check your baby's heart rate. Following an amniocentesis, you may have cramping or moderate pelvic pain. After the treatment, you can continue your regular level of activities.

Rest at residence and avoid vigorous activity for at least 24 hours just after test, or as guided by your health professional.
