I have been to genetic counseling, when I was pg with my dd. I went because we

found out that I was a Fragile X carrier, and she might be also.

IMHO, it wasn't really helpful unless you are willing to consider abortion, or

if you have a genetic condition which can be treated prophylactically (like bc).

I also had to do a ton of research on family medical history.

I come from a family of scientists (two of which are geneticists), so it was a

lot easier for me to get info from them.

Just realize that the counselor cannot offer you a solution. They can only

offer you statistics.
