What if we find out that our unborn baby has Down syndrome?

If you find out the baby you’re carrying has Down syndrome, your providers will direct you to resources to help you after your child’s birth.

You may want to participate in counseling or join a support group. Counselors and support groups help you prepare for raising a child with Down syndrome.

In support groups you can talk with other parents about their experiences living with Down syndrome. It’s a great way to share practical advice on coping with the condition, its ups-and-downs, frustrations and joys. You’ll find that you’re not alone.
