This was an event that the Bailey family was looking forward to. Twin girls were born to Nikola and Todd, 32-year-old spouses.
A baby with Down syndrome was born, and this happens once in a million. Strangely enough, the doctors did not notice any pathologies in Nicola during pregnancy. Quinn was born almost 40 minutes earlier than Harper, who has Down syndrome. The doctors apologized for not seeing the pathology and not warning the mother when they saw the girl.
The doctor apologized for a long time in front of me. My heart melted when I saw my babies. It was such a pleasure to meet them. Nicola said she did not find any abnormalities during her ultrasound scan during pregnancy. Harper and Quinn, according to the woman, have a strong connection. Because her older sister’s hair has grown, Quinn is already jealous of her younger sister. “Yes, Quinn is jealous!” So far, she has only light and soft fluff on her head, while Harper has a chestnut ponytail. Harper began to smile earlier than Quinn,” said the woman. Harper was born with a heart condition, like many children with Down syndrome. A surgery will be performed on the girl when she is 6 years old. Even though her daughters are very different, mom loves them equally.
People around her often look at her warily and say unpleasant things to her. Many people still view Down syndrome negatively and warily,” Nikola said. Lucas, their older brother, was looking forward to their sisters’ birth. In the UK, there are approximately 40,000 people with Down syndrome. This syndrome is unique when one of the twins is born with it.
