I did mine with Dr Tony Tan at Mount Alvernia. He was referred to my previous gynae as we had detected some abnormality during week 20 scan. Dr Tan is a very reassuring doctor ( much better than my previous gynae) and he did the procedure in less than 10 mins. He mentioned it would be like blood taking but tbh I felt it was slightly more painful. Nonetheless the whole process was very fast and we got back our results in slightly more than a week! It is advised you should avoid carrying heavy objects for the next 2 days and monitor for any possible leakages. All the best!
