@ARCantenatal you don't give medical advice but you DO give worst case examples and lead people to believe their unborn child will likely have all. Why not guide people to the experts? People living happily with the conditions you make out to be so awful.

[Lorraine Buckmaster @Jaxonrio]

@mumof3amigos @47StripeySocks @redincandescent @FeralMother44 @ARCantenatal @sallyephillips @PositiveaboutDS Sadly no surprise. I have heard so many similar stories.

[Laura Dempsey @Lauradheartmama]

@ARCantenatal @redincandescent @rebecca44504075 @downrightjoy @PositiveaboutDS @DSRF_UK You also declined my offer to peer support those who's babies survived a cystic hygroma diagnosis to make sure no else was left traumatised by your biased service and have never admitted it as a mistake. Your arrogance is unbelievable!

[Dr Sabrina @doctor_sabrina]

Well done @ASA_UK. The stakes for misinterpretation are so high #prental #genetics #nipt #noninvasive https://t.co/ik6ccgbXvR

@47StripeySocks @ARCantenatal Literally straight to termination regardless........🤬🤬🤬

[Lorraine Buckmaster @Jaxonrio]

Should have stuck to their original name Support After Termination for Abnormality. @ARCantenatal Down syndrome - learn the facts, stop spreading lies.

[Lorraine Buckmaster @Jaxonrio]

I remember this so well @Lauradheartmama. Sadly not a one off. Heard from many, many women who @ARCantenatal told only the very worst possible outcome. Scared into terminating their much wanted babies.

[Laura Dempsey @Lauradheartmama]

@ARCantenatal @redincandescent @rebecca44504075 @downrightjoy @PositiveaboutDS @DSRF_UK Not true Jane.I emailed you to tell you this in 2014 "I left that phone call feeling even more hopeless than ever, like every little bit of hope that I’d had left for my pregnancy had been taken from me". You only offered to put me in touch with 2 women who's babies had died.

[Vik Woo @redincandescent]

@rebecca44504075 @downrightjoy @ARCantenatal @PositiveaboutDS @DSRF_UK @ARCantenatal do not allow any individuals who have continued a pregnancy and have a living child as a result to be peer supporters. Only if you continue and your child dies are you allowed. Look at the examples on the continuing a pregnancy all ended in tragic circumstances.

Day 11 of #DownSyndromeAwarenessMonth.

Mum @Jaxonrio tells us a few things about Jaxon.

#NobodyToldMe that you would be beautiful or that you would look like my other children. I'm ashamed to say I was so scared of how you would look.

[Down Syndrome UK | Positive About Down Syndrome @PositiveaboutDS]

#NobodyToldMe you would grow up too quickly and go to school, that you would fit in so well, that you would possibly be the most popular boy there.
#NobodyToldMe that you would be a rock star! That music is in your soul. You love to perform.

[Down Syndrome UK | Positive About Down Syndrome @PositiveaboutDS]

#NobodyToldMe that you would change our world for the better. That we would lose prejudices we didn't even know we had.
#NobodyToldMe to hide pens and sharpies... or that I would be so relaxed about you wrecking my house 😂 Oh well you live and learn.

[Down Syndrome UK | Positive About Down Syndrome @PositiveaboutDS]

#NobodyToldMe we would love you so much. How could anyone not fall in love with you. Your cheeky, mischievous character, your smile, your gentle kind personality.

[Down Syndrome UK | Positive About Down Syndrome @PositiveaboutDS]

#NobodyToldMe how you would make us happier. We thought it was going to be difficult & our other children would suffer. How wrong we were. You bring happiness to strangers we meet online & elsewhere. You can walk into a waiting room & have everyone smiling & chatting in minutes.

[Lorraine Buckmaster @Jaxonrio]

#NobodyToldMe you would bring so much laughter to our lives read all these stories @PositiveaboutDS
