Pre-pregnancy Genetic Counselling
Pre-pregnancy genetic counseling is a process where individuals or couples meet with a genetic counselor to discuss their family health history and the risk of passing on genetic conditions to their future children. The counselor provides information about genetic disorders, testing options, and reproductive choices. This helps prospective parents make informed decisions about family planning, understand potential health issues, and explore options like carrier screening or in vitro fertilization with genetic testing. Ultimately, the goal is to empower parents with knowledge to promote healthy pregnancies and children.
