Hello,
I am new here and I have lost of questions about downs.
My sister is 36 and is 5 months pregnant. Her screening test came back positive for downs. Since then she has had her amnio done and she just heard that the baby has downs. Could this be wrong? She is so confused with her feeling on how to deal with the news. She has totally withdrawn herself from everyone and wants to be left alone. Is this normal? I am her older sister but also her best friend. This is so hard on me as well. She said that she wants to hear something positive from someone. What can I tell her that will help her feel better? She said that she feels so selfish because of the way she is feeling. She told me that she didn't think that she could mentally care for this baby but as soon as she thinks that she needs to terminate the pregnancy she feels the baby kick her and then she beats up on herself. I am worried that this is going to make her depressed so bad that she wont be able to snap out of.
Please any help anything that a could give her to help her.
