What is down's syndrome? and what I would say to a mum who is expecting a baby with down's syndrome

Hiya my lovely friends
As you may know today is World down's syndrome day !
So what is down's syndrome you may ask?
why not grab a cuppa and sit back and read this . 
We all  have 23  sets of chromosomes , 46 in total but someone like me with Down's syndrome  has 47 chromosomes and some level  of learning disabilty.    and so does everyone  with down's syndrome but they are still beautiful inside and out!
But Down's syndrome can't hold us back from livng ordinary  and  vibrant lives.
My message to a mum who is expecting  a baby with down's syndrome and is scared , I would say don't be scared and meet someone  who has the condition and don't listen to gloom and doom  stories about the baby instead why not meet someone with  down's syndrome?
With and without an extra chromosome we are all equal and made in God's image and we are Fearfully and wonderfully made .
Thanks for reading
Heidi
