Menlo Park, CA - San Francisco Genetic Counseling (415-715-9698) announces its updated prenatal counseling services for future parents. Also offering the services in Redwood City, Palo Alto and surrounding areas

San Mateo,United States - October 6, 2022 /PressCable/ —

With its expanded prenatal counseling services, San Francisco Genetic Counseling seeks to help couples make an informed decision regarding the prenatal testing strategy that is most suitable for them. This screening determines how genes, birth defects, and other medical conditions run in families and how these could affect the fetus, and how it will develop.

As part of its recently expanded offering, the team informs future parents of the prenatal test options currently available, discusses relevant research results, and answers questions. The team explains the specifics of each screening method and then determines which test is right for them, making sure it also suits the couple’s personal ethics and preferences.

A prenatal counselor is recommended if one or both partners have a family history of a genetic condition, or have a child with a genetic disorder and are thinking of another child in the future. The service is also suitable for women who have a history of infertility or pregnancy losses, are concerned about pregnancy risks associated with increased age, or have taken medication or drugs during pregnancy that may have caused a problem for the baby.

As part of each couple’s visit to San Francisco Genetic Counseling, the counselor would go over the family and medical history of both partners (or donor), analyze the chances of having a child with a specific genetic condition, and help couples explore decisions about the options for screening and testing before and during pregnancy. They will also discuss the potential impact of Covid-19 on mothers and their babies and the advantages and disadvantages of getting a vaccine during pregnancy.

San Francisco Genetic Counseling prides itself on its personalized approach to each client and its dedication to devising the most proper strategy for them, even if that means no screening at all.

The team also offers consultations for home DNA tests, such as those by 23andMe, for couples who have questions about their results and want a more thorough evaluation.
