Answer to Question 1

2
Side effects vary by the type of biological agent, including a flu-like illness, high fever, headache, and general fatigue. These are expected effects and do not need to be reported to the physician. Side effects of these medications are long term and can vary in intensity during the course of treatment.

Answer to Question 2

2
Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling can be done as early as 16 to 18 weeks gestation if the cord can be visualized by ultrasound. This test does not need to be done if the fetoscopy fails. This test does not need to be done after chorionic villus sampling or placental biopsy.
