There is some history of genetic issues in my husband's family and it keeps playing on my mind. Im in early weeks and want to be careful from the start. What all tests or steps did u take?
You can't always prevent genetic issues, but you can screen for them early. Make sure to get standard tests like NIPT done in your first trimester itself.
We did pre-implantation genetic testing during our IVF journey to ensure things were safe. Talk to a genetic counselor, they are very gentle and will guide you on the right path.
Please ask your gynecologist about early screening tests like the Double Marker or NIPT. Early detection through proper scans is the safest way to assess any genetic risks.
