Rationale:
1. The 25-year-old primipara would not be as likely as a 40-year-old primipara to receive a genetic amniocentesis.
2. Women age 35 or older are at greater risk for having children with chromosomal abnormalities, and would likely be receiving a genetic amniocentesis.
3. The 30-year-old multipara would not be as likely as a 40-year-old primipara to receive a genetic amniocentesis.
4. The 28-year-old who conceived after taking fertility drugs would not be as likely as a 40-year-old primipara to receive a genetic amniocentesis.
