just needed to tell someone about my grandsons baby. he and his girlfriend are very young and have been told the baby his girlfriend who is 5mths is expecting is a girl with downs syndrome. x

Oh bless - it can be so much extra work with a child with special needs - but all the DS children/people I've ever met have always been very loving and gentle.

hun a friend of mine was 15 when she fell pregnant and was told she was expectiong a downs baby

she carried on and her daughter is a teenager now and is beutiful

all children are to be cherished hun no matter what there difficulties are and them who need extra care are extra special

nite May blossom, sweetdreams. xxx

My daughter works with Downs.She is also a driver and takes them out.She is dedicated to them.She has told me they are her world.She has bought a few round to meet me. annie

Do you know something, I think any parents of a child with Downs is blessed, I work with two, and they are the lovliest people in the world, the parents are the chosen few XX.. good luck to them all XX..

He and his oh will probably need time to grieve the loss of the "normal" baby they were expecting and to adjust to the reality of having a baby with special needs.
I'm sure the baby will be loved just as much if not more. xxxx

Can i add,I had a late baby.Was 38 and i was asked to have all the tests.I said no.If i had had the tests and found something wrong,i was go to have to decide what i was going to do.I had already knew what i was going to do.I was going to have my baby.I was ready to accept my child. annie

Not the news they expected obviously, but I am sure they will love this little one just as much and it might make them stronger together too, especially being so young. I am sure they will have all the support and love they need from both families and this little girl will be a joy to all who meet her, when she arrives, and in the future.
Many blessings to you all.

I often work with children who have Downs Syndrome. Most have been born to quite young parents. In this area there is an active Downs Association who help new and expectant parents and parents throughout the child's school and adult life.

I would suggest they contact the Association as near to them as they can and get them involved now. If you need any help with this let me know and I will do what I can.
