Prenatal Genetic Counseling

Prenatal genetic counseling is a service for expectant parents to understand genetic conditions that may affect their baby. During counseling, a trained professional discusses family health history, explains available tests for genetic disorders, and interprets test results. This process helps parents make informed decisions about their pregnancy, including understanding risks, potential outcomes, and options. The goal is to provide support and information, enabling families to prepare for any special needs their child may have or to make choices regarding their pregnancy based on genetic information.
