Clients undergoing chorionic villus sampling versus amniocentesis
We analyzed interview data from 44 primarily white, middle-class women who had used the prenatal diagnostic technique of chorionic villus sampling (CVS: n = 24) or amniocentesis (n = 20). CVS provides earlier results but carries a somewhat higher risk of miscarriage. Amniocentesis clients were highly committed to the pregnancy and expressed considerable anxiety over the possibility of having to terminate it should an abnormality be diagnosed. CVS…
Grieving the wanted child
Prenatal diagnosis is increasingly common. Whereas amniocentesis is typically performed in the second trimester, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a first-trimester procedure, which makes an earlier, safer abortion possible.
