Bruce, It depends upon what the fluid in the brain is. There are several different types of "fluid in the brain". Regardless, if the targeted ultrasound suggested amniocentesis for further diagnosis, then there is certainly suspicion on the part of the specialist. Whether or not to have an amniocentesis is a decision you and your wife have to make based on your feelings and what your goal with the results are... Lynn
