This study looks at whether genome sequencing should be used more routinely during pregnancy, even when ultrasounds look normal. Genome sequencing can examine nearly all of a baby's genes and may find genetic conditions that standard tests do not detect. Researchers will compare this test with current prenatal testing to see if it provides helpful information for families and doctors. The study will also explore how parents decide what kinds of genetic information they want to receive and how this information affects their experience during pregnancy. The goal is to understand whether genome sequencing can be used in a way that is helpful, responsible, and supportive for families in the future.

Incremental Genomic Frequency
The incremental frequency of fetal genetic conditions identified and reported by genomic sequencing (GS) compared to those found by standard-of-care (SOC) testing, including pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variant of uncertain significance (VUS) variants identified by sequencing and deemed reportable by the Variant Adjudication Committee

Genome sequencing (GS) is a genetic test that involves reading the genome to identify genetic changes (also known as "genetic variants") that can cause differences in human development and disease.
