You've got to be in it to win it!!
Potential to win brand spanking new iPAD from PADS for just £3! Every pound raised will make a positive difference to a family with a child with Down syndrome. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/pads-win…
We completely understand the fear that prevails around Down syndrome & we also understand the reality as we have the lived experience. If you want to understand anything about DS ask those who know @PositiveaboutDS whose Founder Nicola shares her story.... youtube.com/watch?v=F4RDyT-p…
we can't wait to see you Heidi & James! You stay safe too!

Great poem included by Mel of @GrapevineMel from the great @WhoseShoes #Downsyndrome version. How we yearn to all meet again Gill!
Would urge all to listen & consider if their views/attitudes are influenced by last century or contemporary view of #Downsyndrome Thanks Flo 4 addressing this topic - attitudes & the law desperately need overhauling to ensure women can make truly informed choices knowing reality

Fantastic initiative that we know expectant women find invaluable - it's only by speaking with those who have the lived experience, that one can gain insight into the reality, the truth about parenting a child/young person w Down syndrome Fantastic support for new parents too!

The sad reality of being a woman expecting a baby with a high chance of having #Downsyndrome. Mums regularly overwhelmed with negativity. Medics pressuring women to have further tests. Women dreading going for scan for fear of what they’ll discover next time. #Womendeservebetter
Very very very slow. Been awaiting a consensus statement since September!! Never mind any guidelines?!

Good intentions eh Gill?! I thought I'd have some quality down time, sit in the garden and read... deluded!! However, did get book published - good luck when you start - I'm sure it'll be a labour of love - painful for what feels like forever then euphoria!
So, at the start of the pandemic, I thought “Aha!” 🍋💡🍋 *NOW*, I can write my new website.🤓 Oh, and my book. 👍🏼 📚 But @AnnaGeyer_NP @NewPossibilitie @MrWhoseShoes had other ideas. ⏩⏩⏩ #VirtualWhoseShoes 🍋🍋💫💡💫🍋
