If you didn't have testing, would you have made a different decision if you had known you son has DS? Either way, would you have made a different decision if you had known? Would it have helped you be prepared better in any way? I'm trying to decide if it's irresponsible of me to skip US and other testing with my next pregnancy.Tammy W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016568225160293031.post-84239963550732226062008-08-19T15:15:00.000-04:002008-08-19T15:15:00.000-04:00I don't think there is a right or wrong.

Ho...This is a question I wrestle with too, Laurie. However, something I've learned about myself is that I'm the sort of person who has this weird need to blurt the truth out, and I don't know why. Why do I need to tell everyone who asks the most casual questions about my baby that he has DS? I don't know and i often kick myself afterwards. Perhaps it's a need to unload, perhaps it's a test for acceptance, I don't know. But you've made some really good points here that you wouldn't point out that your other child is "typical."

Dylan is no different then all of us and I think you should just say this is my son Dylan and that is it. He is perfect and that needs no explanation :)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661723551104845005noreply@blogger.com
