A GP guide to first-trimester aneuploidy screening
With a variety of first-trimester aneuploidy screening options available, counselling about what potential results could mean is especially important
GPs are most often the clinicians tasked with navigating the options for first-trimester antenatal screening, together with women and their partners.
Each woman comes to pregnancy with her own cultural context, belief system, needs, expectations and aspirations.
As such, every woman must be informed about and offered screening options that are relevant to them and their pregnancy.
With an ever-expanding menu of options available, appropriate counselling about what potential results would mean to the individual is especially important.
