Preconception Genetic Counselling

Preconception genetic counseling is a process where individuals or couples planning a pregnancy meet with a genetic counselor. The counselor helps them understand their genetic background and assesses the risk of passing on inherited genetic conditions to their future children. This includes discussing family history, potential genetic testing options, and the implications of any findings. The goal is to empower parents with knowledge, enabling informed decisions about their reproductive options, and to promote the health and wellbeing of both parents and children before conception occurs.
