@bunchalinks Hi. Not necessarily. My cousin’s 2nd child was born with down syndrome when my cousin was 27.
is it more likely for a baby to have down syndrome if the mother is older?
I just want to hug all of them!!!! <3
this video tugged my heart strings. i had a daughter with DS. she passed away this august. thank you for this video
this made me cry
that baby girl is soo smart!
Awwwuh, the baby is soo cute! <3
What a LEGEND
Thank you so much for this! My eyes teared up. This was deeply moving and very educational.
deeply moved
I thank you for this video!! As the parent of a child with Downs-and autistic catatonia, I was not as lucky to have any help, as he was born 33 years ago. The love and acceptance and films like these, give hope in raising the children with DS, to their full potential. THANK YOU! Love and blessings to you and your family
@DSACTTEXAS Understood. Very well done video. Thank you so much for promoting it! I will pass it on as well.
@juliebork Adam is the dad of a beautiful girl who has Down syndrome, but he is not a specialist. He was featured because the documentary is aimed at healthcare professionals and he can speak to them as laymen cannot.
Great video; good report Jack!
ponce is the coolest guy with down syndrome!!!!!
WONDERFUL!! Seeing postive messages like this gives me great joy and hope for a very bright future for my daughter! Thank you:)
this video got me emotional, i have a newborn sister with down syndrome and its changing my view of life! god bless
Not sure how I missed this video but it is fabulous. Yall should promote it more. Who is the doctor in the beginning of the video? Does he treat kids with Ds or was he featured in the video as a dad with a kid who has Ds?
baby at 0:0l is adorable
SO the reason for down syndrome is 1 to many chromosomes? The 21st, i think?
Inspirational and a great video to show to new parents of a Down Syndrome baby.
Congratulations. This documentary is
very interesting and extraorinary.
LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much for this documentary!
BRAVO!!! This video moves me and makes my heart sing! I have a four year old son with Ds and I, too, see him living successfully in the 21st century!
RETARDS (:
@RimjobYourMom Nah, waste of good water. Tossed in a forest for animals is more appropriate.
@dpurn Reasearch Iodine defiency everyone with someone that knows someone with down syndrome should reasearch IODINE DEFIENCY,and the old goiter belt.i think people with iodine defeincy just have creatnism.type Iodien defiency on google,to find out more i hope that will help you all!and i think this videos total bullshit.

@LickPapi
So Im not 100% certain about this:
A woman’s eggs are as old as she is, they have been there from her youth. As such, as she gets older- so do the eggs. therefore the risk increases.
For men, sperm are constantly being made, hence not as much of an increase in risk with increasing age (though there is still added risk), since his sperm are new.
Hope that helps.
Its also not just for women over 40, rather it starts increasing almost immediately, in an exponential fashion. find a graph
Question for all of you:
Only Increased risk for women pregnant over 40 but what about men impregnating over 40?
@joslynandy yep
@LittleJoe2006 God either does not exist or he loves to watch hes children suffer
the sick barstard
down syndro babies should be drowned in the washer
the government is taking over guys! repost this if you agree and dont want you civil rights stripped from you prisonplanet . com
@cartercool90 No dear, no one carry’s genes of down syndrome.
Yes, but is the prevalence of down syndrome more common in some races?
you cannot inherit down syndrome…(i.e. there isn’t a gene) simply put it is normal but additional genetic material that results in 3 copies of the 21st chromosome instead of 2. It is a random genetic event which happens during cell division
do you think everything wt happening with us is because of our good and bad or somthing which is not in control..
before my little bro was born the doctors said he would have down syndrome, but fortunately they were wrong. does this mean me or my parents could have the gene?
There is no god.
it is my opinion that down syndrome children probably lack the higher brain function to hate. Still, I’d agree that a parent will never have a more loving child.
good info!
Btw I was talking to Joslynandy
Really?
Your pretty frickin insensitive.
they don’t reach the same milestones as normal teens though.
all the mischief of teen life is gone.
no, it’s Gods way of blessing a family in ways you will never understand. How could a child who is full of kindness, love and generosity possibly be considered a punishment?
So it’s gods way of punishing cugers.
thank u this was helpful for an assignment
