Understand your family's story
Many inherited conditions can be identified through careful history-taking and, if needed, simple blood tests. Knowing your carrier status can help you make informed reproductive choices.
Genetic counseling helps you understand how your family history and genetic makeup may affect your pregnancy, your baby, and your family's health. It is not about alarm – it is about empowerment through accurate information and clear options.
Many couples worry about inherited conditions but don't know where to start. A genetic counseling session gives you a dedicated space to review your family history, discuss any concerns, and – when appropriate – arrange carrier screening or diagnostic tests. The aim is to give you a realistic picture of potential risks and, where possible, to reduce or manage them before or during pregnancy.
At Amytri, we offer genetic counseling as part of our comprehensive fetal medicine services. Whether you're planning a pregnancy, already expecting, or simply curious about your genetic heritage, we provide non‑judgmental, evidence‑based advice tailored to your unique situation.
Genetic counseling doesn't change your genes – it changes your ability to plan, to prepare, and to seek the best care for you and your baby.
Many inherited conditions can be identified through careful history-taking and, if needed, simple blood tests. Knowing your carrier status can help you make informed reproductive choices.
Based on your risk profile, we discuss the most appropriate prenatal screening or diagnostic tests – non‑invasive or invasive – so you can decide what feels right for your family.
We walk with you through every result, every decision, and every question. You are never alone in this journey – our team offers compassionate, non‑directive counselling.
A thorough, personalised approach – from history to recommendations.
We map out your family tree across three generations, identifying patterns of disease, inheritance, and any red flags for genetic conditions.
We offer expanded carrier screening for common recessive disorders – such as cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, spinal muscular atrophy, and many more – tailored to your ethnic background.
We explain the pros, cons, and logistics of non‑invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis, and detailed ultrasound anatomy scans.
We help you understand what a positive carrier result, a variant of uncertain significance, or a high‑risk screening result actually means for your pregnancy and your baby.
We encourage both partners to attend – genetic risks are often a shared concern, and decisions are best made together with complete information.
If needed, we connect you with geneticists, maternal‑fetal medicine specialists, or reproductive endocrinologists for further management.
Call or WhatsApp us to book a convenient time – no referral needed, and we welcome self‑referrals.
We'll send you a simple form to note any known genetic conditions, birth defects, or miscarriages in your family.
We meet, review your history, explain inheritance patterns, and discuss which tests (if any) would be useful.
You'll receive a written summary of your risk profile, recommended tests, and a clear plan for next steps – during or before pregnancy.
Even if you have no known risks, many couples choose genetic counseling for peace of mind. But it is particularly recommended in these situations.
Any known condition – cystic fibrosis, haemophilia, muscular dystrophy, or a chromosomal abnormality like Down syndrome – warrants a dedicated discussion.
Understanding the recurrence risk and available prenatal testing options can help you feel more prepared for a future pregnancy.
Genetic factors can sometimes play a role in recurrent pregnancy loss. We can review possible chromosomal causes and guide further investigation.
Certain ethnic groups have increased carrier frequencies for specific conditions (e.g., thalassemia in Mediterranean/Asian populations, Tay‑Sachs in Ashkenazi Jews). We can tailor screening accordingly.
If you've had a high‑risk result from NIPT, first‑trimester screening, or ultrasound markers, genetic counseling helps you understand your options and plan diagnostic testing.
While not a disease, age is associated with increased risk of chromosomal anomalies. A genetic counseling session can help you weigh screening and diagnostic options.
Your genetic counseling session is led by a consultant with specialist training in fetal medicine and prenatal diagnosis. We combine up‑to‑date knowledge with a gentle, reassuring approach – so you feel supported at every stage.
Genetic information is shared – you inherit from both sides, and decisions about testing and pregnancy management are best made as a team.
We encourage partners to attend together. This ensures that both of you hear the same information, ask questions, and leave with a unified understanding of your risks and options. It's also an opportunity to explore how you might support each other through any decisions that lie ahead.
Genetic counseling is a process where you meet with a specialist to discuss your family history, any genetic conditions that may run in your family, and options for testing and management. It helps you understand your risks and make informed decisions about pregnancy and your health.
No referral is required. You can book directly. However, if you have been referred by your gynaecologist or obstetrician, we will happily coordinate with them.
We take a detailed family history, discuss any concerns you have, explain inheritance patterns, and recommend appropriate genetic tests if needed. We also talk about what the results might mean and what options you have.
Not necessarily. Testing is only recommended if it is clinically appropriate and only after we have discussed the risks, benefits, and limitations with you. The choice is always yours.
Typically 45–60 minutes. We never rush – you will have plenty of time to ask questions and discuss your concerns in detail.
Absolutely. We offer counseling at any stage – before pregnancy (preconception), during early pregnancy, or even later if a concern arises. Early is often better, but we are here whenever you need us.
From your baby's very first heartbeat to your family's lifelong health — we're here with precision, expertise and care. Reserve your appointment in under a minute.
