Hi everyone!

My girl-friend got some difficult news today about her unborn child. Doctor told her today that her baby has a 1-5 chance of being born with down syndrome.

Either way she will have this child and love he or she regardless. I just need good thoughts and prayers sent her way to give her strength to get through the next few days. She has an information session tomorrow and then she will decide whether or not to have the amnio.

Also, her DH is in South Africa and can't be here right now. She is at my home now, resting.

Thanks everyone!

    No matter what, the baby will be perfect! Although it might be tough in the beginning, she'll still have her own little bundle of joy!! My little cousin was born with Downs Syndrome and I love her more than anything, she is a true angel and a complete delight :heart: We recently had a family reunion and she took centre-stage :laugh: Her parents wouldn't change her for anything. I wish your girlfriend all the luck in the world :flowerforyou:

    My prayers go out to them and the baby. What horrible news they have to bear. I hope more than anything that the docs were wrong. That poor mama.

    Thanks for sharing with us Mir.:flowerforyou:

    She will be in my prayers tonight. I commend her on her decision to continue with her pregancy. That can be very difficult but I believe that she will be blessed no matter the outcome. :smile:

    Wishing her only the best...whatever that may be. We have friends who's 5th child was born with Down's and though there are challenges he's a joy and a sweetheart. So, whatever happens she will do fine with friends like you to support her.

    Send her lots of hugs from us.....
