Bellerose, New York Emily was born September 16, 2003. We were ecstatic. We had the perfect pair (we also have a son who is 3 years older than Emily). Shortly after she was born, I began to have weird dreams. In these dreams a doctor is telling me my beautiful baby girl has Down Syndrome. I pushed these dreams out of my mind after talking to a friend of mine who works with kids with DS.
Cape Cod, Massachusetts After my 18th week ultrasound for my fourth child, I received a phone call from my OB on a Monday afternoon. I immediately knew something was wrong. It is funny because earlier in the day I remembered feeling relief that I didn't get a call. Part of me knew something was wrong.

Salem, Missouri Hello my name is Lisa. I also have a daughter who as MDS. She just turned 2yrs. I was 16yrs old when I gave birth to my daughter (Rebecca). When I was pregnant the doctors told me that it was possible for Rebecca to have Downs. But I refused the tests offered to me b/c of the risk for a miscarriage and it didn't matter if my child had it or not I would still love her.
San Antonio, Texas Stephanie was my first child, born January 7, 1985 in Iowa. Her father and I were both 21 years old and had not been married very long. My pregnancy with her was really uneventful. The only problem the doctor saw was lack of weight gain on my part and was worried that the baby wasn't growing.
