Re: spinoff to my genetic counseling appointment tomorrow::those who have seen genetic counselors...

Counselor will ask about th efamily history of genetic diseases. Does anone have Downs, if so what it the relation?

Dh was born with minor birth defects (all corrected w/ surgery) She asked about if that and anyone else having those defects.

They will ask about ethinicity to determine if there are genetic diseases you should be tested for. (like Tay-sachs)

We went b/c DH was concerned about birth defects he might have passed on and the counselor reassred us and DS was healthy.

Good luck!!
