Genetic Testing During Pregnancy

You have the option to screen for a number of genetic disorders in pregnancy. How are these tests performed and what can be discovered? Dr. Julia Cormano explains the difference between screening and diagnostic testing, what can be learned from a blood test, as well what to expect from chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis.

i want to know if there are families who benefited from these tests and have healthy babies, my first son has a genetic disease and doctors told us to do the genetic testing during the pregnancy so that we can have a healthy child if genetic tests are clear.

Pero es asi: tambien puedes usar el mismo metodo con el cual incontables mujeres han podido finalmente quedar embarazada, aun despues de que les dijeran que era -irrealizable-. Go’oglea a Ana Cikensel si te encuentras curiosa, todo puede durar menos de 60 dias para que haga efecto.

This should be done before you get pregnant so you can not have children that are born with missing limbs or life in pairing birth defects if you have any yourself you should not have children for the children's sake they will never have a normal life I have scoliosis and a bad back because of it I chose not to pass this on to Children Of Mine so I don't have any more humane

judging by your grammar, you shouldn't breed.

[@thelifeofmorganhall5742]

just a reminder that’s it’s not all on the female. it could come from the father to :)

[@petergriffiinbirdistheword]

Some conditions are spontaneous too, doesn't come from either parent... which sucks 😭

I’ve been struggling with epilepsy for more than 20 years and it seems like it’s genetic since my aunt might’ve had it when she was a kid, and my cousin’s kid also has it, but I would still like to take some kind of test to make sure. If it is genetic I won’t have kids. I know what it’s like to live with it and I would never risk putting my kid through that. I’m just not sure if you actually can do some kind of dna-test for epilepsy 🤷🏻‍♀️

DDX3X syndrome should be on pregnancy genetic testing
