Direct guidance
What to know or do
Ask about evidence for your family situation, accreditation, fees, sample failure, ownership and how collection interacts with cord-clamping plans. Marketing claims are not individualized medical advice.
What changes the answer
- Whether this is screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment or birth planning
- Pregnancy week, previous results and what the result could change
- Benefits, limits, alternatives, follow-up and the time available to decide

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
