I was a Special Ed teacher, and I want you to know that Down’s Syndrome kids were my passion and given the chance, they can exceed expectations!! Some have gone on to college on a reduced schedule but graduated!! Never limit expectations, because every child is special and God doesn’t make mistakes!!
Aw thank you for sharing your experience, so excited to see what she accomplishes in life!
@@kimberlyharvey125 my son was 99.9 💯 with down syndrome i refused to do the last test to check his brain so i signed a paper they was no responsible for nothing tha will happen with my pregnancy but they still give me support so i bursts in to tear i remember i come home crying and asked God why why every single day i talked with my son in my belly i love you i don’t care about i will protect you nobody can hurt you so i went to hospital he was ready to come to this beautiful world i was excited but nervous alot of doctors around me they told me he is beautiful boy i cry he was 9 pounds with no down síndrome 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭now he is 19 years old 🙏🙏🙏🙏thanks God but your baby is beautiful 😍 hugs and kisses to him😘
The best Baker in my town is a Downs person. People travel for miles for his bread and cakes. He is a master of his trade and has won many awards.
@beastbombshell3589 You're absolutely right. 'Expert opinion' is being shown to be wrong every day. People with Downs have been found to do very well across a huge spectrum of things.
My friend the Baker has achieved a lot of success as an educator, and his courses are very much sought after. He's a high achiever. I only mentioned him because he's someone I know personally and admire.
Amen! 🙏🏻❤🧸🌠🌈🩰🎠🦄🧁🍭
My daughter with Down's is 39 . I can't imagine life without her. She is my heart. Every day will be an adventure for y'all. Embrace it and God bless you.
Beautiful
Hi, I just saw your video. I have a brother with Downs who was born in 1968, before any of this testing was available. He has an umbilical hernia , paten ductus and a valve that wasn't closing properly. The doctor in our small rural town told my parents to not treat him or feed him and let him die. They weren't okay with that and arranged an immediate transfer to a hospital in the capital city of our state. He had the abdominal surgery and was in the NICU for 3 weeks. He came home for 2 days but got sick and had to go back for another 3 weeks. They didn't do heart surgery on infants back then so we had to wait until he was 6. There weren't services for Downs kids back then but we all worked with him at home. He is the sixth child in the family. He walked at 18 months and he started at a local preschool at age 3. He has expressive aphasia. He understands everything and I mean everything! He has a great sense of humor. He works in a workshop setting. He is happy, healthy, loves music and dancing. He reads at a fourth grade level, can do math, knows his money and can iron his own shirt... something many men cannot do.
Sorry to be so long winded but I wanted you to see your daughter be a joy to you for a very long time best wishes to you and your family.
Aw thank you so much for taking the time to share about your brother, so happy your parents didn't listen to the doctor❤️
I needed to hear this story, thank you ! I’m 22 weeks and have been told my baby has Down’s syndrome, at first I was very scared now I’m at peace with it and excited to welcome this little one in our family.
i prayed to God my blood test was 99.100 with down syndrome i refused any test and termination checked me every two weeks finally i give birth he is a healthy boy with no down syndrome 🙏they are angel cutest little thing i was excited and nervous but happy i don’t let nobody hurt him in my belly i was so protective until now he is 19 year old
Congrats on your pregnancy, it's okay to feel allllll the emotions but so happy you are starting to feel more at peace about it🥰
My cousin has Down syndrome and he has been the biggest blessing in our family. Seriously the best nobody knows until it’s in their family
Consider connecting with your local Down syndrome associate. You’ll find parents who’ve “been there-down that” that can be a support and resource as well as meet many amazing folks with DS.
@Iggythecat2600 good news...I am so happy for you. On my ultrasound two times normal but blood test possive for trisomy 21 95/100 they said still more test is needed to determine. I decided not to do anymore test but wait for the day I give birth. I don't want to be keep stressing. Sometimes hospital just want to play with people's emotions. 22 weeks pregnant now.
Your child has tested positive for cuteness! 😍 What a darling child. ❤ 🌈 I'm so sorry about the loss of your unborn baby.
Thank you so much❤️
This randomly came up In my feed, but my son who is now 17 has Down syndrome….. i had him when I was 17, the doctors came in the room and literally said ( these babies get adopted in 24 hours you would not have to worry) well needless to say I kept my baby …. I love him so much, my whole family loves him. He’s my light !!! Your daughter is such a cutie 🥰
Omg the Dr’s said that… I’d make a complaint.. that’s horrible
I don't know why your video popped up for me but I'm so glad it did. Your little one is beautiful and perfect! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure so many mommas will find this video reassuring.
Thank you!! Felt compelled to share in hopes that I would help at least 1 mama!
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl. ❤
I had a downs, and she was the most fantastic gift from God. She started school at 2 weeks at Rivendale School in Denver. If I ever had a chance, I would always have another. I delivered her natural and nursed her. Your little one needs support because there muscles are weak and need special care to support the head. They are highly intelligent but just need small class size. They never forget what you teach, so be careful of language and what people they are around. There is so much I would love to say to you, but this journey is yours to take.
Thank you for sharing this! I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant and have done the NT scan and NIPT test. Both came back with a high positive rate for Down syndrome. I have been feeling confused and not sure where to start. However, the one thing I do know is my husband and I will love her for eternity. She is a blessing to us and we refuse to let these test give us negativity during pregnancy.
Hope your doing well. It's a scary time. I send you positive energy and light.
Don't take any risk cause we know down's syndrome child doesn't have any future..so play smart,follow your doctor's advice
Hey there i got the same results today at 22 weeks- how are you doing these days??
My ex sister in law has a Downs child. She had early testing and it wasn’t caught. She told me she was so happy she didn’t know. He was a blessing.
Same as me x
My Aunt Patti had Down syndrome. I was lucky enough to grow up with her and out of all of the people in the world, she’s touched my heart the most. She was the most wonderful human being. She passed away at the age of 55 a few years back with me and my aunts by her side. I wish everyone was lucky enough to have an Aunt Patti in their lives. Winnie is absolutely beautiful. You’re both so blessed to have each other. I can not wait for you to experience the amount of love, the personality, and the laughter you’re lives are about to be filled with! 🥰
Aw thank you for sharing❤️
@@kimberlyharvey125 Congratulations on your adorable addition!
I have been a special needs teacher and one of my cousins has down syndrome. She is 35 now, lives on her own with 2 house mates and a support worker. She works at McDonalds and another coffee shop that is teaching her to be a barista. She has been the brightest spark in our family. Her smile is infectious and it is impossible to be sad when she's around. She gives the absolute best hugs and is the first to compliment you on anything - hair, clothes, smile.
I wouldn't change anything about her.
My aunt did have to advocate for her and fight for her... but that was 35 years ago.
Aw thank you for sharing, always love a good positive story about the successful and fulfilling life that someone with down syndrome is living, she sounds like a great person❤️
As a fellow special needs kiddo mom I feel for you. I had doctors tell me that my little one wouldn't survive 24 hours and here she is 10 years later. She's such a spitfire and she is exceeded everything that I ever thought she would do. Big hugs mama 🫶
She’s so sweet! Thank you for sharing your story. I received a call from dr recently ( I am 16 wks) and she said my NT scan does not look good and I need to do a NIPT test. Her wording caught me so off guard in the evening busy with my kids and she didn’t even explain fully as there was bit of a language barrier as well. We know whatever the test has to say will not sway our love and affection for our new addition on this journey.
Congrats on your pregnancy, my daughters NT was between 3.5-4.5 when they checked several times, it does not always indicate a chromosomal abnormality. I love your positive outlook regardless of the outcome❤️
Only the best spirits come to us is Down's packages. Truly gifts from above. Thank you for this video. Your baby is a precious gift to this world. ❤️❤️❤️
Thats true! They never have evil spirit.. .
My niece has Down Syndrome. She is in her 30's now and is beautiful and doing well. She brings us happiness and is quite funny. Your daughter is so adorable. God Bless. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your perfect, adorable daughter, what a gift she is!
Your life is enriched, extra blessed and beautiful thanks to Winnie! Your precious gift Winnie is so adorable! 💗😘💓🙏🏼
What a little cutie 🤗❤.
I worked with people with down syndrome for 32 years...including artists, ballet dancers, models, actresses,advocats, poets, organisers, retail, students, homemaking...the lists goes on.
Utube can be a tough gig.. everyone has an opinion and some can be quite rude.
Try hard not to snap back at the minority of bad ones and embrace the good ones as you build your channel. Remember;
You're the mum..so you do whats right for you and your family❤.
Thank you for your kind words❤️
I was told at 12 weeks that my daughter may have DS. He kept asking if I wanted an amniocentesis so that if she was we, could abort the baby.
We both told him NO WAY. God blessed us with this baby and he will show us the way.
Our daughter was born with DS and yes it has been a challenge at times (but what child isn't ?) Thank the good Lord she doesn't have any health issues that some have.
She has a limited vocabulary, but is oh so very smart. She loves math and science.
She made honor roll in every grade and has since graduated with honors from high school last year. She is happy 99.99999% of the time and makes everyone around her smile.
For those of you that may have gotten this same news, please put your faith and trust in God, he only blesses special people with these precious angels.
If the soul and the body are not the same thing, wouldnt it be nice to give the possibility to the soul to go back to the fountain of love, so it can evolve and come back in a much healthier body?
Me as a soul would be greatfull for anybody that could think about my soul and not about what is right or wrong to do about not a full healthy body ❤
@@vitnis11and who will be the one to decide that ?
My daughter is 3 now and also born with down Syndrome ❤. She is my Heart and Soul. Love her so much❤️. These Kids are so Special, cute and wonderful.😊
Just want to say thank you for making this video. I had the same experience and diagnosis about the same time. My daughter, however had a heart defect, sleep apnea and basically every other health problem known to DS. However, due to all the health problems, it quickly became not about DS, but just about life. Making sure she lives through it all. She is 6 months old and after months in the hospital- she is finally home and I enjoy her to the uttermost; I stopped caring what other people say I should expect from her.
So happy to hear she is home! So sorry she has had so many difficult medical issues accompanying her diagnosis❤️
What a precious beautiful girl! Maybe it’s my own 2 months PP hormones but I am tearing up looking at her sweet sweet face and hearing how much of a blessing she is in your life! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Yes it’s the sweetest thing I agree and I am 5 months PP ❤
Thank you so much!
The way she put her hand up in the air towards you when you said just relax, made my heart so happy
Love her so much I’m so blessed to have her as my little niece 💗 she is wonderfully made 🥰🥰
Love you guys, can't wait for you to meet her!!
Your family is so lucky to have such a beautiful human. Every single person with Down Syndrome that I've met has been a wonderful presence in my life. Xoxo to all of you!!!
Thank you!!❤️
My beautiful boy had Down Syndrome and I cannot tell you how much joy this little girl will bring you. She is absolutely gorgeous. Sadly I lost him at 18 years of age from leukaemia but there is not a day that I don’t miss his infectious laugh and big heart. Your life is just beginning and she will teach you more about the world and yourself than you can imagine.
I am so sorry for your loss😭 thank you for sharing and for your kind words❤️
My brother in law has Downs. He is the most lovely 😍 human in the world. He's smart as a whip, caring, sensitive, and loving ❤️ Loves to sing and dance. He works at a job. There's so much more I could say and its all positive!
Your baby is absolutely darling ❤ The Lord doesn't make mistakes nor does he give us more than we can handle. I will pray blessings for your daughter and family ❤🙏
I went through a very similar situation and nearly had a nervous breakdown. Thank you for this video. It will surely help many others in the same position. I think you and your husband are amazing people because God only chooses the best people for this.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Hope you are doing well with your nerve racking situation❤️
Winnie is adorable! So good of you to make this video. I'm sure it will help so many people!❤
Sleepy little Winnie. My heart can’t TAKE IT!!!! Thank you for sharing your story. And you holding her made this even better.
What a Beautiful and Thoughtful video. I think if more families come out and let others know what it's like , there would be far less terminations. Instead of all the negativity the positive side needs to be given to parents dealing with down syndrome results. GOD BLESS U for sharing your story 😊 Winnie is ADORABLE and w her loving parents she will do Amazing things ❤
Her little tongue 🥹🩵 precious angel. I have no experience with Downs Syndrome, but I think this is a beautiful thing to share. You’re a beautiful person, mama. She is a beautiful girl.
I am the sibling of a man with Down Syndrome and have spent my entire 52+ years as a nurse working with children with developmental disabilities. I wouldn’t change that for the world. Winnie is going to bring you so much joy that all around you will be envious. Please make sure she is enrolled in Early Intervention services and get in touch with your state Family Voices office. They are a wealth of knowledge and support. God bless you and Winnie! ❤
Aw thank you for sharing!! She is in early intervention already it has been so beneficial!🥰
She’s absolutely precious 🥰
Thank you for choosing Winnie! She is beautiful! Congrats on have a beautiful daughter! Please continue sharing with us your both journeys!
Thank you, will be slowly sharing more on youtube as I learn to balance being a full time stay at home mama to 3 babies and making content❤️
Winnie is such a doll baby! Thank you for sharing her journey with us!😇😇
Congratulations on your beautiful daughter and thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to seeing her grow.
It's true what you said, you feel your life is over, we didn't realize ours was just beginning, our now adult daughter has travelled with us to Turkey France, Italy, hungry, and Holland, she is our reason for living, she makes us laugh every day, she is so kind and caring, you are right in what you say, you have been truly blessed, your little girl will fill your life with such joy and contentment, that special parents like us get to enjoy, God bless you all,
Thank you❤️ We used to talk about traveling as empty nesters, now we talk about how we will show Winnie the world. Thank you for sharing, I hope we will be able to say that one day!
You will belive me, they are just like your other children, but they allow you to see the world at a slower pace, which is great, you see more of the world, , it's also a bonus as you get older, there is always something to get up for in the morning, also she continues to say I love you everyday, I've never felt so loved, you have lots of great things to come, enjoy the journey 👍😁
God has given your family an exceptional story to tell - wow! What a blessing she is. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
My aunt has downs syndrome and she is so sweet and beautiful. With every pregnancy I worried our baby would have the condition only because I would feel guilty because it is obviously from my genetics. What a lame worry because a baby with downs is just as beautiful, worthy and precious as a child without. No shame only pride
Hey I just discovered this channel the other day. This stuff is awesome! I have a little sister with Down's Syndrome so I always like to see content supporting the Down's community. Your family is so precious and adorable!
Thank you for making this video, it is indeed very reassuring to hear that it is normal to feel devastated at the news but also that your life isnt over just because your child has additional needs in life.
Winnie is a little treasure
Thank for sharing her with us and keep us up to date with her progress.
She is so lucky to have chosen you as her Momma ! 💖
Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxx
Your daughter is adorable, this makes me feel a little less worried about when i have children in the future because im autistic and i dont want to have my child feel alienated by society, struggle to read a room, or feel crappy about themself if they do have autisim, as a mum you want to make sure your kids dont go through the same self hate that you went through because of your condition. This channel just shows me that anything is possible and i can worry less in the future when the time comes. I love winnie's little tounge it is so adorable and brightness up a persons day
Im crying over here! Your daughter is such a BLESSING from God! Humanity is so evil… she is a gift from GOD! ❤️🌈 Never ever let anybody tell you and her something different! Imagine how many people can’t get pregnant, they would love to have a baby no matter what special need it has. LOVE to you and your precious baby girl 💖
Don't say it's evil to choose not to have a baby with down syndrome. Nobody prepares you for how hard it actually is to raise kids with down syndrome. It's not their fault either, but it's just not for everyone, and the same goes for kids in general. From my point of view, I would really consider everything before deciding to have kids and make abortion legal. This being said, it is very admirable that this woman had the courage to go through with it.
I have a special needs son (cerebral palsy)- he is adorable and special to me on every way. Although it can be really hard sometimes , I value his presence in my life .
you are amazing and so is Winnie! As you said, you are lucky to be blessed with Winnie and I wish all the best for your entire family.
All the Down’s syndrome children/adults I have seen are beautiful both inside and out. Your baby is wonderful, you will find many blessings as she grows.
Thank you for sharing! Our special girl was born in September ‘22 and I felt all those things too! Winnie is beautiful and congratulations!!
Its amazing how I felt so alone while I was experiencing it, yet so many mamas have gone through it to, thank you!❤️
Thank you for your story. Glad it all worked out better than you could have hoped for.
Thank you for doing this video!! Your daughter is beautiful 😍 and you’re an amazing momma!!
Keep posting. The hardest part of parenting special needs kids is the heartbreak caused by those who dont understand or include your child. Winnie will bring you so much joy.
Thank you for sharing your story about Winnie. God Bless you and your family.
I decided not to test for Down syndrome, but still, I am worried. This video made me feel so much better. It's good to know whatever happens, it's going to be fine.
I never tested for Down syndrome 😊
I also decided not to test...😢
I didn't test because it wouldn't have made a difference to me
As someone who cared for children aged 4-19 with additional needs (inc downs) for over 10 years, I totally get how obsessed you are with your precious little Winnie💖, you are right in saying that God chooses special people to care for these incredibly adorable little people, she is absolutely gorgeous , thank you so much for sharing your story and little Winnie with us, she’s really melted my heart, you will have so many memories with your whole family growing up, cherish every moment💕🌸xxxx
You are just an amazing person and mother!!! All the nicest things to you!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you for sharing this story!!
Thank you so much❤️
Omggg she is sooo cute!! You sound like an AMAZING mama. Your kids are lucky to have you
Thank you so much, I'm trying the best I can🥹
she is SO gorgeous. the world is lucky to have wonderful people like you :')
Thank you for your kind words❤️
Your rainbow baby is absolutely beautiful and so cute! Thankyou for sharing her with us. I’m so sorry for your loss re your previous pregnancy❤
She is the most adorable baby ever. I used to watch a little baby named max who had Down syndrome and He was such a happy baby. My mom was also a special Ed teacher and taught quite a few Down syndrome kids and I felt so privileged to be friends with them. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person with Down syndrome that wasn’t happy. Imagine what the world could be if we all walked through life with such unadulterated happiness
I think you and your husband are amazing !! May God bless your sweet little family !! She is adorable!! ❤
I worked with developmently disabled adults. I loved the ones that had down syndrome. They are such beautiful souls
My SIL had her third baby in January of this year and she has Down syndrome- the time lines match up perfectly to when you were going through this to when she was ❤ her baby is all love and looks like yours is too 💕💕💕
Wow similar story, similar timeline. How amazing. I felt so alone in my situation during my pregnancy but the reality is there were other mamas in the exact same situation! Thank you for sharing❤️ yes she is the biggest love bug, so thankful for her!
Important story. I am about to be tested at 13 weeks. Although I feel I cant have a child with Downs. Want to see my child growing up normally. There is enough to be brought up by other parents. I already diacussed ending pregnancy with my partner in positive situation. This is very personal decision I think. I know I woudn't handle it. Wishing you best.
Winnie is absolutely beautiful. So enjoying watching her interactions with the entire family. You have a lovely family. Look forward to more videos. God Bless.
Girllll, I am the guardian and sister of my Adult Brother...We lived thru abuse, neglect, no family or friends....long story short....Your daughter is so fortunate...Be Protective....Lucky Girl
ESA ES LA REALIDAD QUE MUCHOS SE EMPEÑAN EN ESCONDER...😢😢😢😢😢😢
You are a great mother with three wonderful daughters. God bless. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
Wonderful video ! I hope it reaches someone who find themselves in your situation when you found out. Beautiful baby!
Winnie is a beautiful little girl and she is blessed to have you as her mom! I know several families in our church with Downs Syndrome babies and watching them grow up has been such a blessing! They bring such joy and happiness to all of us who know them! And you are so correct, it's a challenge, but your life isn't over because of this diagnosis, it's just a different path. God's blessings to you and your family.
I am a support worker . And my past experience the people that I have supported have been an absolute delight. I am so happy that you chose Winnie!
She is so adorable ❤❤❤God thought you were the right choice for her ❤
Ngl, this terrifies me even more. I had abnormalties in my first bloodwork. I will be 5months next week and took a test for gender yesterday. Today i get call saying they want me to speak with a genetic counselor. Soo now im terrified. Having a kid like that is my biggest fear. I been crying all day. This would be my first. Im so terrified..
I'm so proud of you and your husband!!!!!!!!! Special needs children are such a blessing and it seems are usually given to strong, mature people as their parents.❤❤❤
Thank you so much🥰
@@kimberlyharvey125 you're so very welcome.
Congratulatios for your wonderful baby. I am a mom of a girl with ds, she is my ray of sunshine. Enjoy life with your precious daughter. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Congrats on your precious daughter!! I was pregnant with my last at age 42. I developed complete placenta previa. As a high risk mom, I had multiple sonogram. 3rd trimester, I was told my child had a marker for downs. I worried the rest of the pregnancy and it was the 1st question after she was born, "Does she have Downs?" She didn't. However, we found out 14 yrs later that my child had a hereditary condition called CCD: Cleidocranial Dysplasia. In fact, a few of my children have it. Your child will exceed your expectations!!! Hugs!!❤
Ooh placenta previa is scary, glad everything turned out okay! Thank you so much❤️
@kimberlyharvey125 sweet of you. And now, I work with people with intellectual and physical disabilities.
Oh my goodness! What a cute baby 🥰 You are truly blessed with your little angel 🥰
I know that GOG is going to BLESS your little ANGEL and your beautiful family 👍🙏🏼❤️
This is really interesting. I having been going though something similar. My baby came back with a positive trisomy 13 test. But my amniocentesis came back normal. I’m due in 4 weeks and we are praying for a healthy happy baby girl. Thank you for sharing your story.
Such a wonderful and important video❤. Thank you for sharing your story and you’re precious daughter.
Ohh my gosh she is absolutely adorable 🥰 Look at that sweet face 🩷 How lucky she is to have you as a mummy ❤
I to am mom to a down syndrome boy. We found out at 22 weeks that he had downs, we were immediately offered termination, at 22 weeks....I was so upset and offended. We were not offered any information or counseling or any thing other than termination. We instantly said NO! I told the nurse if God wanted him, he would take him, but I would never voluntarily give him back. I learned everything I could about his condition and have never looked back. He is now 16 and although his speech is really difficult to understand , he is healthy other than kidney disease from small kidneys, cataracts in both eyes, hoshimotos thyroiditis and skin issues... We are so beyond blessed that we were chosen to be his earthly parents, downs children are way more capable than the medical professionals say they are.. never give up on your child, no matter their issues..
U will never have regrets as long as you give them a chance...
Aw thank you so much for taking the time to share about your son. I am so blessed to be her mama, so far we have minimal health issues over here, newest development is potential thyroid issue but nothing we cant handle❤️
You were offended by someone telling you options?
same to me i refused the last test and termination but i was see doctor every two weeks to check him until i went for due date miracle exist he is a health boy 19 year old😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@honeymcdonald9120It seems from what she wrote that they offered abortion to her as her only option. Also, I would be offended too, if I was encouraged to kill my baby, no matter what was wrong with it.
@@honeymcdonald9120 - I would be offended if that was the first thing they said to me!
You are such a wonderful and loving Mom! GOD bless you and your little ones!
I hope you continue on TH-cam even if it takes awhile to get a following it’ll be so worth it! You have a precious family & a wonderful message to spread. TH-cam doesn’t usually limit length of videos so there may be a setting that you need to check differently. Thought I’d mention this in case you thought 15 mins is the limit.
Thank you so much for your kind words❤️ I did figure out the 15 minute limit lol I needed to verify my phone number haha I am 25 years old, but a grandma when it comes to technology, I'm figuring it out😂
what a precious baby
God bless...you're a strong woman married to a good man who both have a sweet, sweet baby. I love your story.
My son doesn’t have Downs but he has autism, and he is such a blessing. Yes, it can be more difficult than a normal child, but he is also wonderful....happy, smart, curious, empathetic, friendly....everyone loves him!! I’m glad there wasn’t a test for it and had the option of abortion. Cuz I can’t imagine this world without him. We drenched him with love from the start so he wouldn’t know much “bad”. Started therapy early. Other than some minor issues, like potty training and overstimulation, he’s just the most amazing human being. People with special needs aren’t less worthy, they just need more help.
Aw thank you for sharing, he is lucky to have you as a mama❤️
Winnie is gorgeous. There are so many more opportunities for downs children now ... but apart from that, they have the most beautiful souls. They are warm, loving, kind, goofy. Who wouldn't want that as a parent. Much love ❤
Yes, so happy she was born during a time where there are so many opportunities for her!
Thank you for sharing your story. That is what I am going through right now. I don't know what to do, so scared and confused.
My little brother was Down's. He was my absolute life. I will say, I probably wouldn't be nearly the compassionate person I am today without him. The effect he had on me was profound and I miss him everyday.
Hi from Spain! Thank you for sharing your history with us, I am sure that it will mean the world to many people to have a positive referent in a time of doubt 💫
I had an nipt that showed a 99% chance positive for this particular trisomy. I had a scan at 10 weeks and it was beyond obvious. He was so sick and I still miss him.
I'm so sorry for your loss, sending love 💘
I have a 37 year old daughter with downs , she is amazing schools, therapies have come so far in 37 years. One thing I would say is enjoy your baby your child will be a love a blessing and be amazing in every way .
Thank you for this video. Winnie is beautiful and you are an amazing mom. Keep sharing your beautiful story
your baby is just too cute!!!! my cousin had downs (no longer with us). He was a fun guy. we always laughed with him.....never at him.
Beautiful, precious little baby. She's SO content & well-behaved. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story. May God bless your family 💕
Your baby girl is so cute! What a blessing!
Congratulations! She is absolutely precious ❤ what a moving story. She is so lucky to have a mama like you. Sometimes we think we are going down one road and instead we end up somewhere else - but the outcome can still be equally beautiful and wonderful. Sending lots of love to your family and your daughter.
I am going through the same now. I'm 13 weeks pregnant and the nips test also showed that baby could have down syndrome. Unfortunately a lot of people in my family tell me that it will destroy my family's life. I have no support 😢
