Angelic - congratulations on the birth of your little boy.

Sorry to hear of your news, take it a step at a time - im sure it will take you time to adjust, but as everyone has said you have still got a gorgeous, loving little boy.

We are all thinking of you

Hi Guys,

Thank you for all your messages.

I've got some happy/sad news...I had the baby on Sunday night, he was born a healthy 7lb 4oz and 54cms. I was only at the hospital for an hour or so before he arrived (spontaneous vaginal delivery so basically he just shot out when no-one was expecting it) however he isn't quite the baby I was expecting. When he was given to me I asked the midwives what was wrong with him, they looked at him and took him away, he was diagnosed with Downs shortly after. I got to take him home yesterday but I'm still in a bit of a state of shock about it and have taken it quite badly and couldn't bring myself to talk about it, even typing about it is making me cry.

So all you preganat ladies out there...even if your blood test comes back that you're a low risk for Downs and should be in the age category that 'it doesn't happen to' then please remember that I'm only 23 and I've have already had a perfectly 'normal' baby and that Downs can happen to anyone xxx

P.s My pad for today is £30.00 to make up for missing yesterday.

Hi Angel.
I'm not going to pretend that I have a clue what you're going through because although life has thrown many challenges my way, none of them are remotely like the one that you now face. All I can really say is that every feeling that you feel is OK and not to judge any of them - even the ones that may seem darker for you.
Loads of hugs to you.
I don't suppose this is much help right now but when I hit a difficult period of my life some years ago, a friend texted the following to me:-

Friends are like stars.
You can't always see them but you know they are always there.

:hello: Hey everyone!

I'm baaack! I would have posted last night when I got home but after a VERY long drive (7 hours!!) but I thought it'd be best to head off to bed instead and catch up today. Totally fab weekend though, lots of photies on facebook if anyone wants a gander! Got some cracking sunset ones which may try and post on here if anyone wants to see. Got some fab deals with 2 for 1 on the Thames cruise and spent a lot of the weekend boozing so God knows what's install at weigh in tonight!! :rotfl:



I've just skim-read through about 15 pages of posts so I do apologise if I don't seem quite with it! Everyone doing OK!?

Excellent news on all those who have busted another debt, made a payment and chucked a card in the bin! Keep it up everyone! :T

Well done to all the weight losers and the samers and anyone who just wanted to eat and enjoy! :T

Congratulations on baby angelic angelic! It must seem like a shock but there are lots of groups and lovely helpful people out there who can help and support you We're all here for you too! Big hugs to you hun!

New AV pic just for you DT though I've no idea what colour my hair really is :rotfl: after many bottles of Duvel there were numerous photos of my hair but they all look pink so I'll let you decide! :rotfl:

Well, as I haven't PADed this weekend - I've thrown £5 on to the ol' Barclaycard to make up for it. I am going to be back in the OD *again* by the end of the week... OoOps!

Must dash off to weigh in in a mo but hope you all had a fab bank holiday weekend and I'll bob back on later.

Hi angelic

Just wanted to post my congratulations to you and your family on the birth of your baby boy. i know things may seem difficult now and his diagnosis has been a shock for you, and there will be tears, but there will also be many smiles and magic moments, as with any child.

It may take time to understand and come to terms with this situation, but i'm sure you will love him and cherish him and appreciate all those special moments with him.

Take care hun and hugs for you.

Lots of love
