You are seeing a patient referred by her primary care provider for consultation at your tertiary center’s high-risk obstetrics unit. She is a 37-year-old primigravida currently at 13+2 weeks’ gestation with an incidental 7-cm complex right adnexal mass detected last week on routine first-trimester sonography performed at an external center. Although the ultrasound report is not yet available to you, the consultation note confirms a singleton intrauterine pregnancy with normal fetal morphology and low risk of aneuploidy using sonographic markers. Routine serum prenatal investigations are only significant for iron-deficiency anemia.
You are covering an obstetrics clinic for your colleague, who left for vacation last week. A healthy 32-year-old primigravida at 13+4 weeks’ gestation called for an emergency appointment after experiencing two episodes of postcoital bleeding over the past week. She met your colleague last week at her first prenatal visit, which was unremarkable. Sonographic dating was appropriate for menstrual age, and first-trimester fetal anatomy was normal. You note that all routine prenatal serum laboratory investigations are normal with low-risk screening tests for fetal aneuploidy. Without a cervical smear in over two years, cytology was performed, and results are expected shortly.
A 23-year-old primigravida is referred for consultation at 21+5 weeks’ gestation with a new onset of genital lesions. Her referring physician informs you that she has no history of genital herpes and that her obstetric progress has been unremarkable. All routine prenatal screening tests and investigations have been normal. She has no obstetric complaints and indicates the fetus is active.

Results
The results showed that pregnancy counseling with abnormal fetuses includes medical and psychological counseling. In medical counseling, knowledge of the types of tests and their interpretation is important, and prenatal screening training programs for health care providers should be revised based on their educational needs. In psychological counseling, to meet the needs of a changing population of clients Midwives in the context of the wider healthcare system need accurate knowledge of religious beliefs and cultural contexts of their clients in order to take the best approach to relevant care. The occurrence of a diagnosis of congenital anomaly during transmission to parents adds to the accumulation of stress-related events that may increase the risk of developing psychological symptoms in the early stages after diagnosis.
Conclusions
Considering the different cultures of different countries of the world, midwifery counseling skills play an important part in the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Therefore, creating extraordinary educational programs on university education is needed for midwives.
