Most women are used to lab reports that say one of two things: normal or abnormal.
Maternal genomics works differently.
Your MGI report is not a diagnosis and it’s not a prediction. It’s a biological map—showing how your body is wired to respond during fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Here’s how to approach it:
💜 Each section reflects a biological system, not a symptom.
💜 Hormone signaling, nutrient transport, stress response, immune modulation, neurotransmitter balance, detox capacity—these systems quietly influence how pregnancy feels long before symptoms appear.
💜 Within each section, you’ll see impact levels. These aren’t “good” or “bad.”
They simply tell us where your body may need more support, earlier support, or different support during maternal transitions.
A higher-impact area doesn’t mean something is wrong.
It often means your body is working harder to maintain balance under maternal demand.
The goal isn’t to memorize every gene.
The goal is to understand patterns.
Patterns explain why two women can follow the same prenatal advice and have completely different outcomes. Patterns explain why some mothers feel steady while others feel depleted—despite “normal labs.”
Your report is meant to be read slowly, revisited over time, and used as a decision-making tool, not a label. It helps guide nutrition, lifestyle, mental health support, birth planning, and postpartum care in a way that respects your individual biology.
Genomics doesn’t replace care.
It refines it.
This is something I help women get as a holistic doula and women's health coach.
