My experience was similar.
I refused the amnio tests, because the test itself had a 1 in 200 risk of causing death to the baby in the womb.

My 16 year old daughter is healthy and “normal”.

I have never understood the point of this very risky testing procedure. There is no medical “cure/treatment” for Downes Syndrome.

You and I (or more pointedly our children) are not medical miracle case histories.

Yes, I said would you put your child in a group of 200 kids and let someone shoot one of them...it’s the same thing. I’m glad you had a healthy and normal child but we both know we would have loved our children if they did have Downes.
