My cousin(mom's sis's daughtr)has a down syndrme boy.should i test for ds b4 pregnancy?wat other tests should my husbnd & i do b4 i get pregnant?

Depends: On the typo of ds. There is a hereditary type but the common type is an accident at the fertilization stage and is most usually related to the aging mother. There is no test that i know of before pregnancy.
