All perfect and pampered and pretty. The Three P’s & a “B” for “Boring”. I had a Down Syndrome baby many years ago. I struggled through. He had some issues and passed away in the recovery room after major surgery. - I’ll see him again; and he will be PERFECT in every way.
Our beautiful daughter will be 17 in December. As I was considered an “older mother” at the time of this pregnancy, the doctors demanded that I have an invasive amniocentesis. After researching this procedure on my own, I discovered that the likelihood of having a child with D.S. was very close to the likelihood of a healthy baby being miscarried as a result of the procedure. Despite the doctors’ protestations, we chose NOT to go through with the procedure. I have a cousin with D.S. He will be 39 in a couple of weeks and texted me his birthday wish list about a month ago!! (smile)
