Both CVS and amniocentesis provide valuable information about the presence of birth defects. However, the risk of miscarriage is slightly higher with CVS compared to amniocentesis. There is no evidence that either procedure increases the risk of limb deformities in the fetus. The decision on abortion timing is a personal choice and may vary depending on individual circumstances.
