How will my friend treat my baby if it has Down's Syndrome and I choose to keep it?
My money obessed and arrogrant friend-well I'm sorta forced to be friends with her due to a situation I'm in-says that if she ever found out she was carrying a child with Down's Syndrome, she would have an abortion. She calls kids with DS "just a bundle of troubles" (which is by the way what Adolf Hitler called them in not so many words).
Now I'm never going to have an abortion or have the test done. So there's an opportunity that some day I might have a child with Down's Syndrome or leukemia or god knows what else. And well, whatever happens, I'll offer that child my unconditional love.
I just want to know how you think my friend is going to treat my baby if it has Down's Syndrome? Especially since she thinks these kids are "just a bundle of troubles".
She often talks about how cute her friends babies are...
I will not be friends with her is she is ever mistreats my child in this situation.
I've never met an unhappy or insecure person with Down's Syndrome. Amy, Julia and Isabelle all have wonderful families and great support. The only really sad story I heard about a person with Down's Syndrome was my friend's little cousin-who was always smiling-and died of heart problems at 2 (his parents never got over that).

Not sure what the situation is but no one should judge you or any child you have or they are no friend. She is horrible to think of ending a child's life because of a possible medical condition. There are no guarantees in life that you will have a healthy child or even if you do, it could get a fatal disease or something anytime in their lives. When you decide willingly to have children, you must love them unconditionally, no matter what they have wrong with them. God gives you these special children to teach us things we don't know or are ignorant of. They are very special. I would tell your friend, accept me and my child or you are gone. Fix your situation so you don't have to depend on her or anyone else. Chances are your baby will be healthy, so don't worry unecessarily.

Kind and understanding people will treat you and baby nicely.
Dont care others.
You have shown your unconditional love to your own blood.
That is great.
Only thing is-
your decision will make your child unhappy and
insecure in her/his whole life...

Well, if you are like any mother that I know, you won't give her a chance to treat your baby badly! At least not more than once! If it were my child and anyone who called themself my friend tried to say one harsh word about them, they had better hope they didn't! I would cut them out of my life so fast, they wouldn't know what hit them!
Further, if she is really any friend of yours, she wouldn't dream of saying anything about, or treating your child badly! And if your child were born with health problems, and this person really is your friend, then she should be there to help you and support you during this time! You will need it! And if she isn't there to be a friend, then she isn't a friend at all, and you should get rid of her!
No matter what "situation" you are in, your child must come first, so if she were to say something, then this "friend" would have to go!
Good luck, and lets hope your baby is healthy and happy! And lets hope your friend doesn't talk too badly about other people's children! Karma has a way of coming back around and kicking people in their a**! I just hope she never has a child with problems, because she doesn't sound like the type of person who could love them anyway!

that is hard to say if your friend is a real true friend she will treat the baby with respect it may be hard for her at first but eventually it will be fine. DON`T WORRY ONE BIT!!!

It doesn't sound like you really care for the so called friend to begin with and hopefully you will be in a different situation when the time comes for you to have a child and I pray you have a healthy child but all children are a blessing and every child has their own "troubles" whether they are born with the labels of a special needs child or not. No two children are the same and a true mother realizes this and so would a true friend. If you are in the position to remove your self and your child from her negative influence do so and quickly. No one person knows the perfect way to raise a child and as a mother of two special needs boys I realize this but as a mother I know I have the responsibility to not only physically provide for my children but also emotionally and socially , a person with and attitude like your friend is a major problem for a child's self esteem and I will pray for your friend to see that ALL children are miracles.
