Downs Babies and other disabilities?
Question:
Is there anything I should steer clear of when I do decide to convieve?
Answers:
Hi, I agree with the other answers but would also add that Downs Syndrome has been proved to have a link with increasing maternal age (ie the older you are when you are pregnant the more likely you are to produce a Downs baby). There is also a type of Downs which is due to an inhereted genetic fault which can occur in babies of women of any age.
The web site below is well written and will give you lots more information.
I dont know if its "proven" as such, but stay away from unpasturised things, like cheeses etc. Dont eat shellfish. Make sure you take folic acid that prevents spinal bifida.
