Pregnancy Options
Receiving unexpected prenatal screening results or a diagnosis can often raise more questions than answers. Options that may be considered following the diagnosis of a chromosomal condition include continuing the pregnancy or termination of pregnancy. Genetic counselling, non-directive pregnancy counselling, mental health and peer support can be accessed by prospective parents as they navigate decision-making that aligns with their beliefs and values.
