What a shame, as Down’s syndrome is quite uncommon with such young mothers and comparatively VERY common with older, 40+ year-old mothers. These people don't know when to stop.

And it's my understanding it is acquired at the point of conception due to an extra chromosome.

So, no amount of sleep, vitamins or Sunny D can prevent it or vice versa.
