Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Annie's brith mom was 27 had a boy the next year one day before annie turned 1 he was fineand then 2 years later had a girl also fine - she has an older sister to that is finewas surprised how young she was roxTo: DownSyndromeInfoExchange Sent: Thu, January 28, 2010 2:29:38 PMSubject: Re: [DownSyndromeInfoExchange] Re: Old eggs You know .. all these stats point to BIRTHS. I wonder what the rate is per conception?? Older women are more likely to refuse an abortion in a prenatal diagnosis. And based on age conceive less often in general. While younger women have more "on demand abortions" and most have no trouble conceiving . Wonder if those social situations skew the data any? Wonder if the old and young egg theory is just BOLOGNA and is just something that gets blamed on us " old women". I was 34 when samantha was concived. I had a miscarriage at age 16 and at age 28 and a 6 living children. Never had trouble conceiving at all. I did blame my Thyroid for the miscarriages cause I have had a thyroid disorder since age 6-7.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I did not know that about asthma and dehydrated cells! I had some problems with asthma late in my pregnancy with Tristan. The doctor told me I'd probably had it for years but just had never been diagnosed. He prescribed something and told me that unfortunately, it prolonged labor. However, Tristan was born two days before his due date. I was 31 when he was born and had two more typical children the next two years. Shari Sticky genes...interesting! you have a link on that?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think you misunderstood what I was musing about. I was not saying drinking, smoking or drugs caused it. I was only speculating on a theory about sticky genes I read a long time ago. I guess my rambling was less than coherant. I will just drop it though cause it was only my brainstorming on a very non exact science that I cannot even remember the details about. I am sorry if anyone thought I meant something different. I do believe God has blessed me with my daughter and however He decided to make that happen it all right with me. ~~~~~~ If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control. ~~~~ Luther King, Jr.  I can tell you that I had never done any drugs, I was not on any medication. and I was not a big drinker either. I guess they don't know what causes it and they just keep guessing. Shirley  Who knows.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 When my son was born a geneticists with a lot of experience with Down Syndrome told me that 80% of natural miscariages were do to T21 and it was his personal belief that the babies that were not naturally aborted were ment to be born. I think he is right and I think it happens just because we are humans and they are part of the human race.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010  That is exactly what my OB doctor said when I lost everyone of my 4 babies. He was very good and sympatheic and even told me wait a few months and try again and we'd have a baby again. When we found out the results of my youngest having DS, he said that the results might not be correct as everyone is human and mistakes can be made while reading the results. While they were correct, it didn't matter to the doctor, or to my family. She's our little girl and was blessed with 2 daughters with special needs.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Oh, how cute! I never felt guilty for *being too old* and I went on to have another baby at 43. (I want one more! I need the *right diet* for a girl...LOL) I was just angry at the doctors for pointing out the traits that all of us had as an inheritance factor and then adding traits that my son did not oresent with. They violated our right to privacy by delving into our genes without my consent (and against our consent). I was also very angry that they labeled him (by their own words) *severely mentally retarded* and he has been nothing of the sort. I think this unfair labeling (and discrimination) is really unfair for the child and the family. I may be 44 going on 45, but I look and feel 29.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 You know...if you really want to get *pregnant*, the easiest time to do this is within a month after a D & C (assuming that those who miscarry also have a D & C afterwards). Everything is at optimal conditions for a pregancy ten. But then they may have told you to wait so your body could regain some strength.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 People who have Asthma (like me) are genetically predisposed to it. Your genes are what they are. An environmental incident caused the gene to be expressed. Yes, drinking sufficient amounts of purified water will help with Asthma...hydration is a key factor in prevention and won't hurt after you begin having issues either (can help).

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Makes sense. Researchers are discovering that DS may be a *defense* mechanism (per Dr. Roper) and I can tell you that your child will more than likely never have a brain tumor (the DS saved him). Aren't you glad?
