advice on Down syndrome

Sally
Hi ladies looking for positive stories.
Last week I went for my 12 week scan, however it showed a risk factor of baby with Down syndrome , mine was high. Me and my partner went private ( hell of a lot of money but that doesn't matter ) for another test and around 10 days we should get the result in whether baby has downs,/  Edwards syndrome. This is my first pregnancy, all mix emotions. 
Had anyone have babies with Down syndrome? How you cope? How's the baby?
