I find out yesterday that my baby girl has Down syndrome did 3 of the test and come out that 85% to 95% she will have it I can't do the amniocentesis because I can lose the baby and my self doing so. Have to go to the Dr today so we can talk about everything and do an ultrasound Dr said he can't wait until next week to do it. If you guys where in my shoes and find out what would you do? I'm still going to have her and love her like my other kids but it's just overwhelming for me.
@amaperalta03, I can't do it because I have a bleeding disorder myself that's why I can't do it but thank you for the advice
Sometimes the tests are accurate @sherria either way I hope all goes well for you and your blessing of a baby girl!
I had a 50/50 chance for this baby I'm pregnant with now to have Down syndrome. I still went ahead and did the amniocentesis and my baby survived. My doctor told me there was a 1 in 200 that that baby wouldn't survive the procedure. But I still did it cause I wanted to be prepared and know for sure if my baby was gonna be special. I planned to keep her regardless. Thank god all results came back normal.
God has you and baby in his hands! no need to worry. there's all sorts of AWESOME programs that you both can attend. I have a best friend that 25 and she has downs. I would trade her for the world! people look at them different, but to me there just like me with a different way of thinking. @sherria
they told my mom that my baby sister was going to be born with downs. she's 7 and she's smarter then I was at the age of 9.
thank you guys so much for your advice and input and it is in God's hands either way she'll be loved.@showersoverflowers and @katielee5897.
Maybe look for groups with other parents that have kids with Down syndrome so you will have people to talk to and get advice from! My one friend in high school has a little sister with Down syndrome and while it is absolutely hard on her parents she is quite the firecracker and the light of their lives! She's working on getting her first job and everything! A "normal" life is still completely possible just some additional hoops to get through to get there.
thank you @goddess_ang
