Prenatal and Preconception Genetic Counselling

Prenatal and preconception genetic counseling involves providing information and support to individuals or couples regarding their genetic health before conception or during pregnancy. This type of counseling helps assess the risk of inherited genetic conditions affecting future children. Counselors discuss family history, genetic testing options, and the implications of results, empowering families to make informed decisions about family planning and prenatal care. By understanding potential genetic risks, individuals can better prepare for a healthy pregnancy and the possibility of addressing any health concerns early on.
