Hi Kel,
Thanks for your post... I was just lying in bed now thinking about the birth, about how I will be looking at her and thinking "is she alright / is she normal" and not being able to tell unless she looks different?
You say:
If the fold in the hand is straight across then the child is likely to have down syndrome." Do you mean the fold on the inside of the hand (i.e. also know as life line?)
