They check for some pretty severe genetic disorders, which if not picked up then might lead to them becoming sick and not getting the right treatment, CF for example.
You will get a pamphlet with all the info on the things they check for.
Jaidan was found to be a carrier for CF. It is important because when he goes on to have kids, if his partner is a carrier they will have a 1 in 3 chance of producing a baby with CF. Lucky for his father and I we found this out and could choose to have genetic councelling to find out who was a carrier, and what our chances were.
All 3 of the boys didn't like it, they cried, but I wasn't in the room for the first 2. I didn't want to be. The older boys dad went, and Ashton was done here at home. They came back a little upset but nothing a booby didn't fix
