My parents were tested as well when I was born in the '80s to see if there were chances of their child carrying genetic anomalies. I don' t know if they tested me after I was conceived, but I know they did the test to them.

Currently, I know only of testing during problematic pregnancies, but I wouldn' t be surprised if it were standard for any pregnancy, and if it isn' t it fucking should be. It' s an incredibly useful tool to check on the foetus and possible severe anomalies.

I can' t with the "nobody cares about chromosomes" rethoric anymore. I had one some times ago telling me that they don' t influence development in the least. It is absolutely nonsensical.
