So im pregnant 36 weeks and they found a spot in my little mans heart when he was very young that hasnt gone away they told me thats a sign he will have downs im not worried about it because it will not change how I feel about him but im 18 and my mother had a baby before my older brother who was born with downs and shortly passed after his birth I also have a cousin who just passed with downs but he lived to be 64 I feel terrible with these thoughts my doctors have assured me he is healthy but I cant help but be worried

A child with Down Syndrome should never be referred to as a "DS baby".  Children or adults with Down Syndrome are people first!

To the original poster.  Try not to worry!  I know it's easier said than done.  While your baby may have Down Syndrome, many live to become elderly.

Ooppss sorry, typo error. What I meant was 95% women who were high risks to have DS baby gave birth to a baby WITHOUT DownSyndrome.  :)

Don't worry.  Lots of babies without DS  also have spot in their heart chamber.  I am pretty sure your baby is not a DS baby. :)   Just to let you know, my wife was very high risks to have DS baby with 1:67 ratio according to the bloodtest and ultrasound, and our little pricess has white spot on one of here chamber. Given that risk we still declined the advised of her OB to undergo to Amniocentesis test because I believed my baby does not have DS.  Actually, 95% who are high risks for DS baby gave birth to a baby with DS... Back to my story, on July 22, 2014 my little girl was born without DS.  

So, dont worry. Just enjoy your pregnancy and keep eating healthy food and take prenatal vitamins.
