Abstract
Summary: Fifty consecutive patients undergoing transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and 52 undergoing amniocentesis completed a questionnaire following the procedure to determine the amount of pain they experienced. Mild pain, discomfort only or no pain was reported by 96% undergoing amniocentesis and 90% with CVS. Moderate or severe pain was reported after completion of the CVS by 8% and following amniocentesis by 2%. Both procedures were well tolerated.Keywords
