Every pregnancy comes with risks for genetic abnormality, but a family history of genetic disease and/or advanced maternal age increases your risk. If you have these or other risk factors, your obstetrician may recommend that you see a maternal-fetal medicine specialist (perinatologist) for evaluation and advanced tests… even before you become pregnant.
