Counselling for Congenital Anomalies

Counseling for congenital anomalies involves providing information and support to individuals or couples at risk of having a baby with genetic conditions or physical birth defects. It usually occurs before conception or during pregnancy. Counselors discuss family history, potential risks, and testing options, helping families understand their choices. They also provide emotional support and resources, guiding them in making informed decisions that align with their values and circumstances. The goal is to ensure families are well-prepared, both medically and emotionally, for the possibilities ahead.
