What are the symptoms of babies’ down syndrome?

I am 6 months pregnant and it is my first pregnancy. I never wanted any testing done for down syndrome, but I came to know that my placenta is just a little bit thicker and has a chance of down syndrome. Although, my doctor has told me about it to be common and nothing to get worried about, I am still skeptical about the testing. I am really distressed and I want to know about the symptoms of down syndrome. Can somebody please help?

    There are no such symptoms through which a pregnant woman can confirm Down syndrome without conducting a test. Primarily, it is caused by the irregular formation in the reproductive cells, the ovum and sperm. Studies show that Down syndrome is irrelevant to the behavior of the parents or the environment. It happens randomly. The chance of having a child with the Down syndrome is one per cent no matter how old the mother is. However, women genetically predisposed to give birth to a child with this condition, can sometimes be detected as early as the first trimester. Parents who previously had a child with Down syndrome possess an increased risk of having a child with this illness. One or two of the parents may be a balanced carrier of the translocation of the chromosome. Therefore, it is important for every couple to conduct genetic counseling before they decide to have their next child. As an expecting mother, please make sure to keep all doctors’ appointments, take all prenatal vitamins and dietary supplements, and be absolutely certain to begin taking care of your child from the moment you find out that you are pregnant. Prenatal care is essential for any expecting mother.
