Hi All,
We had a phone call from the Fetal Medicine Centre today to say that we have a 1 in 5 chance of our baby having Down syndrome. I feel so upset and my head is in a complete spin. We can not decide whether to have the Harmony Test or the Amnio done. I am 16 weeks so I'm worried that time is against us. We are very undecided as to what we would do if our child had Downs Syndrome. There is a part of me that desperately would want to keep our baby and another that doesn't know if we could manage (my husband has a cousin with Downs and so we have had some insight into what it can be like). How do you even begin to make a decision about these things. I'm so conflicted about everything. It's our DS birthday tomorrow and his party on Saturday. I dont know how I'm going to get through it all.
I'm not sure why I'm posting really as I know that the answer can only come from us but I just dont know what to do...
