Genetic Counselling is usually recommended for pregnant women with a family or medical history of genetic issues to look for an occurrence or recurrence of the same. It helps to understand the natural history and inheritance pattern after which further testing, management and research can be done as required. Counselling helps the parents-to-be to understand the risks involved, and prepare mentally, physically and emotionally. It also provides support to help the family make necessary adjustments and also understand a possible recurrence.
