The story, told by the «Daily Mail», comes from England

a. At the twelfth week of pregnancy, during a routine examination, a mother-to-be was informed that her baby would most likely be born with Down syndrome.

. From the ultrasound images that showed an accumulation of fluid at the level of the fetus's neck, the doctors deduced an almost certain Down syndrome: a genetic anomaly that causes mental retardation and physical malformations. For this reason, the doctors advised her against keeping the baby and having an abortion on the same day. The couple, Jordan Squires, 22 years, originally from Middlesbrough, and husband Jonathan (30 years), However, she decides to go against the advice and pressure of the doctors who recommend abortion. She does not abort and chooses to continue the pregnancy and give birth to the baby. They refused an amniotic fluid test, which would have made the diagnosis certain, but posed risks for the child. So Jordan Squires carried the baby to the end of her pregnancy, but the birth was difficult despite the contractions. The young mother therefore underwent an emergency caesarean section and gave birth to a 4kg baby and 400 grams. Which in general surprise, he was in perfect health. According to mom, little Jay, who will celebrate his second birthday in February, he has only been ill once since he was born. She explained to the "Daily Mail" that she was obviously very happy not to have followed the doctors' advice: "We would have lost a healthy child if we had decided differently." Despite the relief, the young mother remains furious with the doctors, who in her opinion made a hasty diagnosis and pushed her to have an abortion: «We felt a lot of pressure to terminate the pregnancy. We were given no support or advice if we wanted to make a different decision.". This is why the woman advises people who are given such a diagnosis to seek a second medical opinion before deciding to have an abortion.. We must prevent other episodes of this kind from occurring, comments Giovanni D'Agata, president of theRights Desk“. This is a very serious matter, a matter of medical malpractice, today we talk about it with a smile, but if there hadn't been a mother's stubbornness, What a worst-case scenario of a difficult life, full of obstacles and discrimination, she still decided to give birth to her son.
