Doc suggested we go for genetic counseling and now im a little anxious about why. I dont fully understand what they check or ask in it. anyone been through this, what happens there?
My doctor explained genetic counseling is when a specialist looks at your family history and test results to discuss any risks of inherited conditions in the baby. Its informative, not scary, just helps you make informed choices. They suggest it if there is a family history or certain screening results.
We were referred for genetic counseling because of a family condition and I am glad we went. They explained everything clearly and what tests made sense for us. If your doctor recommends it, please take it seriously.
Its basically expert guidance to understand any genetic risks and your options. We were offered it and found it really helpful and calming actually. If your gynac suggests it, do go, it just gives you clarity.
