I am a 44 yr old mother of 3 girls 22 20 and 18... 1 boy 12 .... A grandma of 2 almost 3 lol... I thought I had food poisoning for 3 days ... Took home preg ... The.first day I missed my period ... Boy was wrong ... I was in shock ...I have been blessed again !!! I love my life ... I found an ob... Before my first appointment I had a bad hemorrhage 911 the whole deal I was petrified thought I lost my little booger... At 8 weeks saw my doctor was still bleeding Alittle but ultrasound looked fine baby looked great ... Placenta had torn away from uterus ... At 10 weeks I had the harmony test ... Doctor said because of my age I was high risk ... For downs ... Trisomy 21 .... The test came back a week later ... She called me in for an early appointment ... I was so excited because the harmony test is ... My blood taken ... And babies DNA extracted from my blood ... I was going to find out the sex .... She explained my results ... DNA showed the xtra chromosome... Trisomy 21 ... She said my baby has downs ... I cried ... Was drepressed ...prayed ... And have done way to much googling.... Knowing in heart I do not believe in termination ....I have come to realise after a lot of praying ... Not only have I been blessed to have a beautiful little girl .... God has blessed me with an even more special gift ... I can not wait to hold her ... To see her... To love her ... I feel so priveledged and so excited that god thinks I am special enough to bless me yet again to love this special little girl downs or not ... I'm 15 weeks now .... I hope I have not offened anyone with my opinions ... 400,000 Americans have downs ... 92 percent of women who find out they are having a downs baby abort ... It's hard to believe ... Or Understand .... But I know we all have a choice .... I'm choosing love my baby No Matter What !!!

I'm not saying have a child with Down syndrome will be easy, because it won't. You will struggle but it IS the greatest blessing and one this you will learn is that they ARE PERFECT. It is scary, and not everyone has the heart. But they will teach you more than you will ever teach them. They're pure, and a blessing. It may not always seem like that, but they are.

well you first need to understand that no test is absolute my sister was told her son would  100% have down syndrome before he was born and he came out 100% perfect! he is now 3yrs old and talks better than most adults i know lol.....just eat right and hope for the best if you believe in a higher power pray
