A member asked:

What to do if i'm 19 years old and i have been told that i have a 1 and 6 chance of my baby having down syndrome.?

Hard to say: DS births can occur with mothers of any age. If your screening test that suggests it,you must decide what you will do with the information.You can get a more specific test that could confirm or exclude the finding.You might be better able to prepare for the birth if you knew.
