I am not sure why you would have an amniocentesis at 38 weeks, it may be done earlier to assess lung maturity prior to pre-term delivery but at 38 weeks the lungs are mature and delivery would npot be called pre=term. If for paternity testing delivery is so close it is not worth it. As the baby is so big it is difficult to find a large enough pool of amniotic fluid to sample.
