If you can’t take the risk of Down’s syndrome (coz I will not abort no matter what, yet you can’t handle having a child with it) and you’re over 35, would you try to get pregnant?

Question

Answer

If you're unprepared for ANYTHING having a child may throw at you dont have one

Answer

I wouldn't. Special needs Children come with a variety of stressors. I work for the disabilities board in my state and SO MANY of the kids and even adults that I see with special needs come from families who "were a little older" "wanted a child so bad" but "just dont know how to handle it"  so they get sent to us...with neglect and abuse and mentally worn out parents....
I'm not saying you would EVER harm your baby but having a special needs child and not being prepared for the risk itself is how these guys got sent to me. 
I will say SO MANY downs syndrome children and adults are amazingly sweet and kind but obviously they come with other issues as well that aren't all mentally linked.

Answer

Down’s syndrome isn’t pretty low of my list of concerns that would be too much to handle. A violent child with an inability to feel empathy makes me more nervous than a child with downs.

Answer

If you can’t handle a downs (like me) and not willing or wanting to abort...I wouldn’t get pregnant. I’m 34 and my last pregnancy was downs. I was shocked. It was the worst period of my life. Everyone is different and some would view this as a blessing and gift. I make no judgment on ppl and let them make the right decision for their life
