[quote=Anonymous]I had wanted children for years but the high cost of living in DC and the lack of family support here hindered us from trying until later.  I was finally pg with my first at 39, and all my co-workers who had had children later said of course you get the amnio just to make sure, but it will be fine.  Of course, their's were fine, mine was T21.  I was devastated because I truly felt that wouldn't happen.  Of course, that was a stupid conclusion.  Anyway, my dh and I had predecided that we would terminate for Downs, and that is what we did.  It was hard, and it's still hard, but I do not regret my decision.  We went on to have two beautiful, happy and healthy children.  Someone said something earlier about a Down child having something wrong with their head.  That is incorrect. There is something wrong with every cell in their body, and it is something that will never get better.  I am not advocating, just telling my story.  It is a place I would not wish for anyone to be because I was there.  We console ourselves that we would not have had our particular children if we had kept our first because each egg in your body brings a unique child.  [/quote]
