What is Genetic Counseling in Pregnancy?

Genetic counseling is a specialized service that helps expectant parents understand how family history, personal medical history, and prior test results may affect their pregnancy. At LMFM, our our providers work closely with you to evaluate potential risks and provide clear explanations about what those risks mean. This process is not about creating fear—it’s about empowering you with knowledge so you can make informed decisions for your family. Whether you’re navigating inherited conditions, advanced maternal age, or results from earlier screenings, our team is here to guide you with compassion and clarity.

Benefits of Genetic Counseling for Expectant Mothers


One of the most important benefits of genetic counseling is the opportunity to understand your options before making choices about further testing. Our team takes the time to explain each step in plain language, helping you feel confident about the decisions you make. Early insight into potential risks can help reduce anxiety, guide your prenatal care plan, and prepare you and your providers for the best possible outcomes. Families often find that genetic counseling brings both reassurance and peace of mind, even when questions are complex. At LMFM, we believe knowledge is a powerful tool for creating a safe and healthy pregnancy journey.

What to Expect from LMFM’s Genetic Counseling Services

When you meet with a provider, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free environment where your questions are always welcome. Each session begins with a review of your family and medical history, followed by a discussion of any prior screenings or test results. From there, our team explains potential risks and outlines the testing options available to you during pregnancy. If additional testing is recommended, we walk you through what to expect and support you every step of the way. At LMFM, you’ll leave each appointment feeling informed, supported, and cared for.

Exactly a year ago today I had my second, consecutive miscarriage after two and a half years of trying to grow our family. 4 medicated cycles. 3 cycles of IUI. 2 rounds of IVF. 3 embryo transfers. Hundreds of blood draws and injections. It was the most challenging time in our lives. The moment I found out I was pregnant I called Nic and she brought me in the very next day to LMFM.
