Positive NIPT for trisomy 21/down syndrome | NIPT results story time

[@renaseaholm5160]

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!!

[@kimberlyharvey125]

Aw thank you for sharing your experience, so excited to see what she accomplishes in life!

[@Iggythecat2600]

@@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.

[@albin2232]

@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.

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.

[@Iggythecat2600]

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

[@Flipper86]

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.

[@ayyotube5224]

​@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.

[@kimberleyleclaire5233]

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.

[@kimberlyharvey125]

Aw thank you so much for taking the time to share about your brother, so happy your parents didn't listen to the doctor❤️

[@themoneyplanner2589]

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.

I have a brother with cerebral palsy, his twin is normal. having an sibling with a disability has truly been a blessing in so many ways. Challenging yes, but it has absolutely changed mine and my families life for the best and I couldn’t imagine my life without him.

[@mrsbobbinlacer]

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.

Congratulations on your beautiful daughter and thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to seeing her grow.

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 🥰

[@chelle2093]

Omg the Dr’s said that… I’d make a complaint.. that’s horrible

[@AtHomeWithA]

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.

[@kimberlyharvey125]

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❤️

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.

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?

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’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.

[@cheryllaguardia931]

Disturbing to hear you would not change the child if you could. Why would any parent not give their child a typical life, rather than a special needs one? It does not seem realistic. Depending on the severity of the syndrome, the child may be dependent on the parents its entire life, and on the government after the parents are gone. It will also have a considerable effect on their other children. Having read testimonies of those raised in families having downs syndrome individuals, and how the other children were neglected because of the consuming efforts required by the down syndrome individual, I wonder at those who knowingly choose to continue such a pregnancy. I certainly support the mother's right to choose to do so, but do have questions about how it affects the entire family. I wish you and your family well, and hope your daughter proves to be high-functioning.

Lady she accept her child exactly the way they are. People with Down syndrome can live fairly typical lives. They can go to college, live alone, get married etc. I am waiting to hear back for my baby and I am hoping it’s trisomy 21 and not a more lethal trisomy condition.

@@kimberlyharvey125 Thank you Kimberley, I meant every word! 😀💕 I never had children as I went through the menopause in my mid 20’s, I have to say it broke my heart, I was a nanny and looked after many adorable babies including quadruplets. You are a beautiful family!

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.
