    Congrats on the birth of your little man. I am sorry to hear how you were treated in the hospital - you are his mother you should have been consulted and advised the whole way through.
    Good on you though for sounding so strong and most importantly happy now that your family is all home!

    Congratulations on your little man!!! Welcome to the world Hayden!

    You sound nice and strong, even though it got a little rough for awhile, I'm glad Hayden is home safe with mummy and daddy now.

    Did the hospital send you home with any information about Downs? There are some members I've seen discuss various Trisomy issues, I'm sure there is some info around here. By the sounds of it, if they didn't think it was ok to discuss your own child with you, they might not have thought to help you out with what it all means.....

    mwah!

    Congratulations on the birth of little Hayden, love that name (my first is also named Hayden)..

    So brave of you to write about his birth, I don't think I could do it.. Some hospital staff amaze me with how rude and insensitive they can be but here's hoping everything goes well for you and your family in the future.

    Sam,

    You are a beautiful soul with great strength and determination. Hayden is a very lucky little man because he has been blessed with such a wonderful mum, who will fight hard to make sure he has all that he needs. Im so glad you posted your birth story, it is one of courage.


    take care of you both

    What a brave woman you are! I can't believe how crappily you were treated!

    Thanks for sharing your story and WELCOME Hayden I have known many people with DS and they are an ASSET to humanity, they have such a pure way of seeing the world. Congratulations! And congrats on BFing despite all that trauma at your beginnings, and the DS - i suppose you know many DS babies have trouble coordinating their suck which can make BFing a trial for you both, looks like you and he are champs at this .
