Genetic counselling   Message List

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on the process of
genetic counselling- has anyone had this done? What does it involve?
Were specific genetic tests done? Did you find it useful? Any other
thoughts on this would be appreciated. My GP asked if I was interested
in seeing a genetic counsellor and I said no, but now am wondering a
bit more about it. I guess I figured it wouldn't change what I
would "do" - I would still like to have another baby one day, and
would still make the choice to continue a pregnancy with anencephaly,
should that happen again. But, I guess I wondered whether something
useful may still come out of seeing a genetic counsellor.
Thanks so much,
Vanessa
