Re: Tomorrow is my genetic couselor meeting...

Chat Icon Chat Icon They will ask you a lot of questions about your family history, and your DH's family history. Asking if anyone has any medical problems.

When I went, they basically made a 'family tree' to see to see if they could trace the issue. Then they gave me information about the problem. Honestly, I already knew the information they gave me, just by researching on my own.

Good luck!

Here is what you can expect....

It is a meeting where you will be informed of all your options for genetic testing. The counselor will go over in detail all your options and the accuracy of each test. They will also take a brief family history to determine other risk factors. No testing is done and you don't really get any answers/results.

I went in expecting more answers, but that wasn't the case. All I got was my options on what to do next. Hopefully your meeting helps you - good luckChat Icon

yes i would

ask if his mom had any miscariages and if so how many and how far along

also any family history of gentic ambdomalities such as down syndrome on his side and if so how related

the more info you have the better hte gentic conselor can understand your history

also if he can be available for a text or phone call at that time it may be helpful

but the tree just shows odds again and does not give you a 100% answer that only comes from amnio or cvs test
