CVS is usually performed between 10 and 13 weeks from your last menstrual period. CVS may be chosen over amniocentesis because it may be performed earlier in the pregnancy. Although CVS is considered to be a safe procedure, it is recognized as an invasive diagnostic test that does pose potential risks. Miscarriage is the primary risk related to CVS occurring 1 out of every 100 procedures.

CVS is not recommended for women who:

Have an active infection (i.e. STD), are carrying twins, have experienced vaginal bleeding during pregnancy

Transcervical CVS is not recommended for women who:
Have uterine fibroids or have a tilted uterus which impedes the catheter

Following the procedure, the mother may experience one or more of the following side effects:
Infection, Spotting, Cramping and pain at puncture point

Contact your healthcare provider if these symptoms remain or get worse. You should also contact your healthcare provider if you experience:
Fever, chills or leaking of amniotic fluid

The choice is ultimately up to you. It really depends on your willingness to take care of a special needs child, or to accept whatever God places before you. As stated before, discuss any concerns with your physician. Good luck and God bless.
