Today, I met with the geneticist. We had a very lengthy discussion about my medical history and she said an amniocentesis was not needed because there was no specific genes to target. She did however want me to get a blood draw for Hemophilia B since I am a carrier and it is important to know before birth if baby will have this as well as it affects males and females different due to the X chromosome. I figured I would post photos of that discussion, since it is a lot easier than explaining.
Sorry if these are not easy to read; They are screen shots of the original MyChart report. Anyway, ultimately, there will be a lot of testing ran by specialists after he is born to see if he has any of these clotting issues, or if he has IgG deficiency like his father since that cannot be determined in utero.
