Does it hurt? im only 23 years old is the risk of the test coming back as a bad result less because of my age. ↑

There's a 1% chance of miscarriage. I haven't had it done, but I'm sure it hurts a bit. ↑

And your chances of having a baby with birth defects are very low because of your age, the older you get, the more chance you have of having a baby with birth defects. This is not to say that your baby is immune to birth defects. The chances are lessened. But are still there. Good luck with your amnio. ↑
