My head is well and truly done in...
My DS3 has Downs. I am now 10 1/2 weeks pregnant again. I am absolutely sick and tired of being questioned both by friends and the medical profession about my refusal to test for Downs in this pregnancy, although will be having routine scans. I am not an idiot, but DS3 is just as wonderful as my other two sons, and perfectly happy, so why would I try to avoid another child with the same genetic condition?!
I am also fed up with people saying how I am 'amazing' to cope, as if having a child with Downs is some sort of consolation prize. I don't 'cope' with anything, and I much prefer my own son to some of my friends 'normal' but ill behaved little ones...
Why are people so obsessed with having a'perect' child?!
