This study is looking at new ways to provide information about genetic conditions during pregnancy. It compares a phone chatbot application called "Prenatal GENEie Chatbot" to standard in-person genetic counseling. The goal is to see if the chatbot can help pregnant individuals understand prenatal genetics better and if it affects how many people choose to get prenatal screening tests. You can join if you are a woman between 18 and 55 years old, are less than 20 weeks pregnant, can read and write in English or Spanish, and have access to a smartphone or tablet. You cannot join if you've already had genetic counseling for your current pregnancy or have a history of certain genetic conditions. The study aims to enroll 1470 participants.
