I have been offered amniocentesis test, but am not sure - Women's health question

Question:

   I am 35 and expecting my first baby. I have been offered amniocentesis test, but am not sure whether to have it done?

Answer:

   Amniocentesis is a screening test and form it many inherited abnormalities can be detected. you must decide would you want a termination if an abnormality was detected? Also, are you prepared to take the slight, but real, risk of losing the baby that the investigation itself carries? Unless you answer 'yes' to both these questions then amniocentesis would not be advisable.

My doctor says I should wait three months before trying to get pregnant - Women health Question

Question:

    I am anxious to start a family and have stopped taking the pill. My doctor says I should wait three months before trying to get pregnant. Why should it?

Answer:

  It is a safety precaution to ensure that all the synthetic hormones contained in the pill are out of your system and that your varies have returned to a normal regular rhythm. There is also some evidence  that vitamin and mineral levels in the blood are altered by taking oral contraceptives and it is important to allow these levels to return to normal before you became pregnant.
