25.01.2022 What an appalling trauma for mother and baby. Even if a baby would be at risk by allowing mum to take him/her home, there is absolutely no justification for immediate removal at birth. A few days of connection and bonding in a supervised hospital environment could surely be of some benefit and no harm. We need to do more to support vulnerable women and their children.

21.01.2022 "If you have any love for your child at all, even a speck, find a way to keep him. Do anything. Move anywhere. The heartbreak of realizing -too late- that you ...could have done it, and they would have been SO MUCH better off, safer, more loved, and cherished with you, their own mother, that heartbreak will destroy you in ways you can not build back up, and carrying on is so much harder than it should have been." https://fp365interviews.wordpress.com///12/shyanne-mother/ See more

16.01.2022 In parts of Australia we sit around 98%. These statistics are even used to coerce women TO abort! (Much like a grown up warped version of peer pressure....) Som...e women are left wondering why they are the minority when they continue their pregnancy. They can be made to feel like they’ve made the wrong choice in continuing by family, friends and medical professionals. It’s WHY women in Australia need up to date, consistent information, alongside informed consent, BEFORE they enter the screening process. And if they do choose to screen, they also need up to date information, time, support, and sensitivity in the delivery of a potential diagnosis. You see those of us who have a child with Down syndrome see these statistics and shake our heads BECAUSE they do NOT reflect our children and the lives they lead. We are in 2018 and there’s never been a better time to be born with Down syndrome, yet ... there’s never been a higher abortion rate for unborn babies diagnosed with the condition. It Doesn’t Add Up. Personally, I believe the whole screening process if fuelled by FEAR. We can alleviate those fears by continuing to educate, not only women, but society about individuals with Down syndrome. If you’ve read this far thank you and leave a photo of your child or yourself if you have Down syndrome and a message to negate that fear. If you have a prenatal diagnosis story about coercion in screening (even if your baby didn’t end up having Down syndrome) PLEASE email it to me at: [email protected] Joelle @T21 Mum Australia Network And Mum to Josee from Josee's Journey of Faith Hope & Love #downsyndrome #t21 #trisomy21 #prenatalscreening #t21mumaustralia #pregnancy #baby #coercion #information
