for both my husband and I. Our joy was continued throughout the pregnancy until the doctor had offered us possible test to see if the baby had any problems. I didn’t want to know until the baby was born, but my husband insisted. The doctor conducted a maternal blood screening, as well as a noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (Santrock 2014, pg. 52). The tests came back positive for Down syndrome. At that point the doctor asked me if I would consider aborting the pregnancy. I was shocked at how fast…
