I just found out that the baby I am carrying has high risk of Down syndrome. My Husband wants to keep it. I don't. I don't think I will be able to cope and I am very horrified and ashamed that I might have done something in this pregnancy to cause this. I don't know what I did wrong. I never drank a sip of alcohol. I quit my job and take care of myself very well in this pregnancy. What should I do.

It's never your fault. It's genetics and no one will want that to happen too. BTW, high risk doesn't means 100% confirmed to be too. Have some hope!

Can do forget tests to confirm. The risk percentage is just a guide and not as accurate as testing the dna directly

please go for another test before u have your decision baby is gift try harmony test

My prayer goes out to you, talk to your husband, get a second test. Could be false positive.

I’m so sorry to hear that, must be very difficult for the both of you.

Please seek 2nd opinion. Don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault

Nothing is your fault Mom. Love the baby 😊 and stay strong Mom
