Geneticist: It would not hurt to see a genetics specialist to determine if the down's was the result of a random mutation.Sometimes mom or dad carry a higher risk because of their dna.You can get pregnant any time, but if there is a higher risk, you may want to know.

Which type ?: Ds infants have 1 of 3 basic patterns.Trisomy 21, the most common, has a recurrence risk for you of 1% plus any age factor. A mosaic, is a blend of normal and t21, with no specified recurrence risk. A translocation 21 has a potential for recurring with any pregnancy.Your babies pattern should be defined first.A geneticist can help you with future planning. I find most are ready after a few yrs.
