Hi Cee-Cee,

I just thought i would post in here as I have a sister with Down Syndrome she has just turned 14, when my mum was pg with her, all the scans and tests come up fine(inc Ameno), it wast til an hour after she was born that the Dr came in and said She has Down Syndrome. Although it was devestating news (i was in there when they told my parents) we wouldnt change it for the world.
Through the years I have learnt so much about the disability etc that your chances of having a child with Downs is really unlikely. Trust me.

There are 2 types of Downs 1/ Is Hereditery and 2/ non-hereditery
My sister is non hereditery.
But through the tests these days you they are able to pick it up, and then you will have options.

Its scary thinking of all the "what if's" especially when they have been brought to your attention. But you just have to remember that god chooses who wil parent a disabled child, and that you have options too if he chooses you.
Its hard work bringing up a child with a disability, but so is any child. My mum went on to have a set of twins after my sister, who were fine or "normal".
There is a vast range of support and guidence out there these days you will never be far away form help of any kind. Noone would think any less of you if you found out and chose to abort, its a really hard decision to make to keep or not when you have the answer in your hands. I just hope you wont go throught this alone and will seek the support of family and friends.

Think positive thoughts and the right thing will happen.
Keep us updated and my prayers are with you.
