First Prenatal Appt Need Family History?

Question

Hey ladies, I have my first prenatal appointment today. We haven’t told family yet (7weeks). I’m getting worried I won’t have all the family history prepared without talking to everyone! Should I have told them all sooner to ask about this stuff? I wanted to wait at least until first ultrasound.

Answer

They are not as extensive as you think they are. If someone in your family has something they ask you about you would most likely know.

Answer

They basically ask if there are any birth defects, downs, mental retardation. Nothing too in-depth.

Answer

If you dont know then its ok. They can update your file later once you find out.

Answer

They just asked if anyone in my immediate or one generation extended was born with a genetic disorder. You'd probably know.

Answer

I’m pretty sure you’ll know the kind of family history they’ll be asking you for.
