Amniocentesis - cost and other info.

CVS is available in HK from about 12 weeks. I had one done (due to high risk OSCAR results) at Dr Lam's clinic in Central which was very quick and painless (with a little discomfort during process). Results for DS back in about 1 day and results for other chromosonal abnormalities in about 10-12 days. Tests only chromosones and not all congenital disorders (such as spina bifida) which the amnio does.

Understand Dr Lam is very experienced in amnio and CVS (altho quite brusque in manner - just my opinion) and with 1 day of total rest I was fine . Cost about $5500 - cash only (found out last minute and had to dash to nearby ATM).
