Part 2 of our Genetics Series with Elena we dive deeper into what our genetics can actually tell us. 🧬 Can two healthy parents with no family history have a baby with a genetic condition? What does a diagnosis in one child mean for siblings or future pregnancies? And what happens when genetic testing gives you a result that isn’t completely clear?

What does it actually mean when you’re told something could be genetic? 🧬 In Part 1 of our Genetics Series, we’re joined by Elena specializing in genetics to unpack genetics in a way that actually makes sense. We chat about the difference between screening and diagnostic testing, NIPT, CVS and amniocentesis, why families may be referred to genetics, and what can happen when something unexpected is picked up during pregnancy or on an ultrasound. We also explore the question so many parents immediately ask: “Is this genetic?” An informative conversation for anyone pregnant, planning a pregnancy or navigating an unexpected finding or diagnosis. 🤍 Disclaimer: This episode is for general education and information only and does not replace individual medical or genetic advice.
