Question

Help answer this question below.

I was currently told that my unborn child may have Down Syndrome and I'm awaiting a targeted sonogram to confirm this, I'm struggling with the end results and will I be able to handle a DS child? I am 20 weeks pregnant and scared to death.

    i used to date a gal who did ultrasound for high risk pregnanbut,cies.....and, i also have a first cousin who has Down's Syndrome......so, i will share with you what i know.......a blood test and an ultrasound will give marker's as to whether or not the fetus will have Down's Syndrome.......i swear.......but, as kind of a last resort, the doc will do an amnio.....which is kind of unpleasant, but involves a needle being shoved into the amniotic fluid to be drawn so that they can test that......you did not tell me your age......women over 40 years of age who are pregnant have a high risk of having a child with DS........let me know how all of this turns out.....my prayer's are with you and the baby.........Brian........
