That's horrible, I can't believe someone could be so tactless and unsympathetic about it. It sounds like your youngest has a wonderful family who loves her, though, and that's all that matters :)

I am so embarrassed to admit how long it took me to realize that that was a double typo and not some other language... I kept going "Is that Portuguese or something?!?"

Oh my god. That makes me so, so, so incredibly angry.

So you can't have any super intense sex marathons?

Just curious.

In regards to it preparing you better, I can understand that. My daughter doesn't have Down Syndrome, but when I was pregnant I chose to have the testing done (even though I knew I was keeping her regardless) so that I could better be prepared and educated, mentally and emotionally.

Then again I can also see how getting the test and having it come back positive for a disorder would potentially turn you into an emotional train wreck. All the dwelling on the 'whys' and the 'hows' could be torture for the 3-6 months left until giving birth, and I can understand why people would opt out of the testing.
