I am Heather and this is Sarah Elizabeth. Sarah was born on January 8, 2018. She was undiagnosed Down Syndrome in utero. When she was born the doctors were acting 'funny' and started asking my husband about our ultrasounds. there was a pediatrician there suddenly and more questions. I just asked when in recovery from my c section if she had down Syndrome. I couldn't think of anything else they might be so concerned over. The pediatrician confirmed it was suspected. We had the cord blood sent away and sure enough it was Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome. Sarah is a very happy baby. She smiles often, rolls to her side, grabs for toys, holds her hands together in front of her, kicks off her feet when held upright, coos and talks, breast and bottle feeds and sleeps well. She is such a blessing and a wonderful little sister for our son James. We are excited for the future and supporting and cheering Sarah on in life.

Hi all! I am Ashley, I’m 27 and my husband is 29. This is our second pregnancy. Our first son, Mason, will be 2 when his extra special baby brother gets here! 💓I am still waiting a couple more days for a 100% diagnosis but I know in my heart that Miles does have Down syndrome. My 20 week anatomy scan showed 3 soft markers, echogenic focus, small nasal bone, and two cysts in the brain ventricles- we did NIPT testing that came back “pos” as well with fetal signals showing signs of a multiply copy of 21. — this brought my PPV value to 1:3 which are about as high as a predictor value goes.We did do an amnio yesterday, I need to be prepared and informed if he does have it. Just our personal choice. My current OB doesn’t have a nicu and if I am considered a high risk pregnancy now, I will be moving my care to someone with a reputable nicu! I’m glad to have found people on here that are going through this journey. 💓I am due December 19th with this little man!

Omg I was also due on Dec 19th! My boy came a bit early though, he wouldn't stop pulling on and squashing his cord and it made his heart rate vary too much so we had an emergency c-section on Nov. 27th. Hope yours decides to stay in for the rest of the ride! Every week counts!
