“Amniocentesis test?”
My ex-girlfriend is pregnant with twins. On April 7th she had amnio fluid drawn for a paternity test she was 19 weeks pregnant at the time. She has since decided she wants to do another paternity test with the other alleged father. She is currently 24 weeks pregnant, is it safe to do an amniocentesis test again? Is there any risk to the babies by her having more fluid drawn?

If she NEEDS one, that’s up to her doctor.
Usually the testing is now done after the baby (babies) is born.

It is not unsafe with following
Issue
1)rupture membrane is higher in twins& pre term delivery
2)increase chance of preterm contraction
She may consider to do the taste after
The birth of the babies
It is less expensive & practically no risk
Stay safe
