it's difficult for me to say whether they're handling the storyline well or not as i don't personally know anyone in that situation, and god forbid, hope i never am myself. i can understand where they're (honey)coming from though as rae's story points out, you think you're getting one thing and end up with something else, that's if you've had no tests.

the only person i know, as joanne mentioned was my ex boss, his brother had downs and he said as a child he always felt totally left out, there was never any time for him as his parents needed to spend most of the time with his brother and appointments and everything else involved.

i had the tests done at 15 weeks when i was pregnant with anna and i personally couldn't say what i'd have done given they'd have come back with problems. it's a hard one for me as because we'd been trying for 2 years, i think no matter what i'd have possibly had the baby as i was so desperate for a child.

if it happened now, i don't know ? if i'm totally honest. i think if you could tell what quality of life was going to be for the child and that there would be none, i'd end the pregnancy.

it must be such a difficult time for all involved. no right or wrong answer :sad:
