Children's Hospital Boston's info video on Down's syndrome

Down Syndrome: Attitudes and Expectations

Brian Skotko, MD, MPP, Resident in the Department of Medicine at Children's
Hospital Boston, answers several questions about Down syndrome.
Thankyou geekgirl, As a mum of a child with DS it's great to see such a positive message regarding testing and having a child with down's especially from the medical side .
When DS was diagnosed prenatally my hospital made sure that I had this kind if information and got to speak to a pediatrician about the baby I would be having as opposed to just the condition. I was able to ask about other parents, families and the sorts of challenges they faced they were brilliant.
It's a shame information such as this is not standard in hospitals after diagnosis (such as in the USA where it is legally required now) or even better before parents decide to test.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
