Menlo Park Prenatal Counseling: Screening Strategy Consultations Updated

Oct 6, 2022

Menlo Park, CA - San Francisco Genetic Counseling (415-715-9698) announces its updated prenatal counseling services for future parents. Also offering the services in Redwood City, Palo Alto and surrounding areas

San Mateo,United States - October 6, 2022 /PressCable/ —

With its expanded prenatal counseling services, San Francisco Genetic Counseling seeks to help couples make an informed decision regarding the prenatal testing strategy that is most suitable for them. This screening determines how genes, birth defects, and other medical conditions run in families and how these could affect the fetus, and how it will develop.

More details can be found at https://www.sf-genetics.com

As part of its recently expanded offering, the team informs future parents of the prenatal test options currently available, discusses relevant research results, and answers questions. The team explains the specifics of each screening method and then determines which test is right for them, making sure it also suits the couple’s personal ethics and preferences.

A prenatal counselor is recommended if one or both partners have a family history of a genetic condition, or have a child with a genetic disorder and are thinking of another child in the future. The service is also suitable for women who have a history of infertility or pregnancy losses, are concerned about pregnancy risks associated with increased age, or have taken medication or drugs during pregnancy that may have caused a problem for the baby.

As part of each couple’s visit to San Francisco Genetic Counseling, the counselor would go over the family and medical history of both partners (or donor), analyze the chances of having a child with a specific genetic condition, and help couples explore decisions about the options for screening and testing before and during pregnancy. They will also discuss the potential impact of Covid-19 on mothers and their babies and the advantages and disadvantages of getting a vaccine during pregnancy.

San Francisco Genetic Counseling prides itself on its personalized approach to each client and its dedication to devising the most proper strategy for them, even if that means no screening at all.

The team also offers consultations for home DNA tests, such as those by 23andMe, for couples who have questions about their results and want a more thorough evaluation.

A jewelry gift with a story of gratitude at Maddox

A jewelry gift with a story of gratitude at Maddox

Oct 16, 2026

A search for a jewelry gift became a conversation about sacrifice and second chances when award-winning actress Katherine Luna visited Maddox Jewelry and spoke with its owner, Charo Cordial.
 Luna wanted something for her eldest child, whose care had sustained her through four years in prison because of drugs. As she explained the reason behind the gift, in an interview also shared on the boutique’s popular YouTube channel, she shared the family story that brought her to the store. The actress had won Best Actress for “Babae sa Breakwater,” her first leading role. But amid family and relationship problems, she began using drugs, and her career and personal life unraveled. Her eldest was only 14 when she was imprisoned. With no relatives helping her, her children took responsibility for her care. “When I was imprisoned, my children were the ones who looked after me, especially my eldest,” she told Cordial. Every week, her eldest traveled from Manila to Montalban to bring her food. Luna’s savings lasted until her final year in prison. As her eldest approached 18, the child asked permission to work. Their support helped her endure the absence of relatives, although she said she held no resentment. “I still understand them.” Luna also recalled limited food rations inside prison, where inmates waited to see whether anything would be left. Yet she found opportunities to rebuild. She was entrusted with duties in the kitchen and store. She completed high school and pursued vocational training, including dressmaking. Encouragement from people who believed in her helped restore her hope. “That was when I began to feel alive again. That was when I found hope,” she said. Her eldest also provided for the family during a period when Luna was recovering from surgery and had no work. When money ran short, the child pawned two gold necklaces. They were never redeemed. “It was for us, for the family,” Luna said. Now finding work again, Luna visited Maddox Jewelry to choose a gift for her eldest — her chance to give jewelry back to the child who had once parted with it for their sake. At Maddox, those memories gave the gift a meaning beyond adornment. Luna’s conversation with Cordial turned a visit to choose jewelry into a personal account of a mother’s gratitude — for a child who had given up gold but never given up on her.
