The purpose of carrier screening is to give reproductive autonomy and increase choice to a couple having a baby.
For some people it will be about preparing for the birth of baby with extra needs and know:
where to deliver
do you need extra scans
do you need to alter management of your pregnancy
do you need extra care by certain health professionals
You should be offered information so you can make an informed choice and be given the chance to consider testing or decline testing.
Time is limited with your GP
and it is not possible to have an extended conversation about the pros and cons of screening but you can be directed to a health care professional who knows their stuff
and
you’re the type of person who doesn’t want to get your information from fact sheets and online content.
Cost of testing varies and is up to $595 for the most comprehensive test of 1,400 genes plus additional option testing is included in the price.
