First I want to start off I went to hospital this week they told me baby had duodenal obstruction said it was a cyst or a Hernia but nope much worse seen the consultant specialist who then told me baby had duodenal obstruction with his bowls and would need surgery soon as he's born she said its all down to down syndrome and that I would need amnio test so had that this morning got to wait 3 days thou for test results, people say you can tell by looking at scan picture does my baby look normal or down syndrome? The hospital said do I want to end pregnancy I told them let me take one day at a time and get the results first I am 33 weeks gone didn't know u could end a pregnancy this late been in tears for last couple of days ... knowing he got to have surgery soon as he's born and now downs and he might have a small hold in heart but can't tell yet cuz imaging not clear ... please look at photo and see if he looks like he got down syndrome... I have 3 other kids none of them got it x

Can I just ask how little Caden is getting on? I gave birth to my beautiful boy a month ago and only found out then that he has DS. I’ve not found much info on Mumsnet about babies who have actually been born, just screening results so it would be lovely to hear how you all are doing xx
