She wrote: “Two years ago today, I found out my baby would be born a girl. The news was quickly followed with the diagnosis of Down syndrome.
“I spent much of my remaining pregnancy in worry, fear of the unknown and probably every of emotion you can think of. It was a very sad time for me. I tell you this as an encouragement to those that may have just received the same news.
“As hard as it may be to do, focus on your exciting news of simply having a baby! What a joyful celebration.
“It is a time for you to fall in love with a child you've not even met yet. It's a time to prepare a nursery and pick out names. It's a time to be cherished with your family. Everything else will come in time.
“Enjoy your pregnancy and welcome to the family! You are now one of
#theluckyfew”.
