Emma... I know exactly what it feels like to get a phone call like that and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I hope you and bubby are ok.

Are you back yet Emma? I've turned the volume right up on my computer so I can hear when I get an email.
I have been thinking of you so much.

Im back.....
they are pretty sure that my little girl has downs......
we have to have that needle test tomorrow and get the result on monday- but from what he was saying its a pretty sure thing.
we were told we have to "make a decision" and we dont have much time to think about it.
i dont want to do either.
The worst thing is she wont stop kicking me- i love her so much and every time she does it reminds me of that and the fact that i dont want to do either of the options.
im only 24!

Oh emma, so sorry to hear your news! What a terrible thing you are going through. Remember despite what everyone says you need to do what is best for you and your family, seek some advice from proffessionals, talk to your loved ones and look after yourself.

Emma,
There is an article on BellyBelly Expecting a Baby With Down's Syndrome. I hope you have lots of support and information around you - do your research before you make this difficult decision and perhaps get in touch with some other mums with Down's children. All the best sweety...

Emz,
I am so sorry for the shock of this difficult news.
I can only imagine how awful this is for you and your partner.
The following is the phone number of the Downs Syndrome Association of Victoria. Someone there may be able to give you some help at this late time of the day. 03 94862377 - there is a number to call after hours on their message.
It sounds like they are fairly certain of this diagnosis. However, it isn't over until you get the results of your amniocentesis. You should be able to get that result within 24 hours.
Yes, you love your daughter and you need some help to make some decisions if the news is not good tomorrow. Don't be hurried into a decision by a practitioner who says you need to make a quick decision. The decision you and your partner make will affect the rest of your lives. This is a decision that no family should have to make.
If I can help you by being an ear or if I can help you to get some support please contact me on my email. I can phone you if you need.
I send you love and a hug.

Huge hugs Emma, & like others have said don't rush into a decision. Even though they have said you don't have lots of time on your side you do have the right to make a totally informed choice no matter what you choose.
