Down syndrome

[marie8736]

I was just reading all the additional testing you can have done to check for problem with your growing baby. But if ur baby has something wrong with it what can they do? Nothing im assuming and i doubt any mother would kill there baby because aomethings wrong with it. I know i wont i will love my baby no matter what

I agree with ktowne,,i got the ds blood test done and the sonogram just to check so if my baby would have it i would be able to prepare..my sister in law has down syndrome and its hard on her..i would never want to put my child thru the crap her parents do just out of not knowing how to Handel the disorder..

I think it's more so (for me anyway) to be prepared if there was something wrong. I wouldn't love my baby any differently, or abort or anything, but there's a lot to prepare for mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. Especially when the baby grows older, that goes for any disorder, it's something I'd want to be educated on and know how to handle when the time comes.

agreed. nd all those tests are soooo inaccurate that you're more likely to get a false positive than a real one. I chose not to have any of those tests because not only would I keep baby girl anyways, but if one came back positive the next step would be to do an amino nd there's no way I was letting then stick a giant ol' needle into my belly.

Those were my thoughts about it too. Even if they detect it while in the womb, what can they do to change it? Nothing. So what's the point? That's just pointless stress and worry if you ask me.
