Amniocentesis is typically performed between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. However, it can be done as early as the 13th week in certain cases, depending on the specific circumstances and the healthcare provider's recommendations. It is important to discuss the timing and necessity of the procedure with a healthcare professional.
