Answer
Srilatha,
If you really don't want to have an amniocentesis, then don't. If you would not end the pregnancy anyway, don't have it done. I would start off with a more detailed ultrasound called a "level two ultrasound." This will look at more in depth things. Talk to your doctor and discuss it with him. Good luck!
