We are planning to start a family soon and theres some thalassemia history in hubbys side. So we want to do the testing before, just to be safe. Where do u usually get this done, any clinic or lab?
Genetic testing can be quite expensive, so it's wise to plan your budget first. You can get it done at major diagnostic labs like Lal PathLabs or Metropolis, but check if your hospital has an in-house package. Comparing prices beforehand can save you a good amount of money.
Go to a reputed multi-specialty hospital or a well-known genetic lab like Strand Life Sciences. Don't just walk in blindly; consult a genetic counselor or your gynac first so they can suggest exactly which tests you actually need.
I am in my second trimester and we were also thinking about genetic screening. Is it really necessary if there's no family history? I get so anxious thinking about all these medical tests, did you guys also get this done before conceiving?
Haan, aajkal toh genetic testing bohot normal ho gayi hai pre-pregnancy me na. Aap kisi bhi acche standard lab ya badhe hospital me jaakar pata kar sakte ho. Apni gynac se ek baar consult kar lo, wo sabse acchi jagah suggest kar dengi!
