Genetic Counseling Consultation

Prenatal genetic counselors assist individuals, couples, or families who are more likely to get pregnant with a child who has a genetic disorder or birth defect. A prenatal genetic counselor can help people who are thinking about getting pregnant or who are currently pregnant learn more about the condition in question, better understand their risks, and learn about options for prenatal screening, testing, and/or assisted reproductive methods like sperm and egg donation. You might be sent to a prenatal genetic counselor if a birth defect or genetic disorder is discovered in your unborn child during pregnancy.
