There are several reasons you may see a prenatal genetic counselor:

• Personal or family history of a chromosome abnormality, genetic condition, intellectual disability, birth defects, or other disorder

• Personal or family history of multiple pregnancy losses or infertility

• Concerns about risks to a current pregnancy due to age, abnormal screening, ultrasound findings or diagnostic test results

• Concerns about being a carrier of a genetic condition due to your ethnicity

• To discuss information about available screening and testing options during a pregnancy
