Down’s syndrome: Mum felt pushed towards termination

Along with two other mums – Lou Kennedy and Laura Thomas – she set up Seren Dwt, a charitable organisation gifting Welcome Boxes to babies with Down’s syndrome across Wales.

“Having these boxes is saying there is a support group for you,” Ms Howard said.

“You are not alone, and your child will be alright, there’s lovely, positive things that they can achieve and there is a community ready and waiting with open arms for you.”

All three agreed language was incredibly important.

“I wish I could go back and tell myself two hours after she was born, when we realised, that you’re going to be OK and she’s going to be OK and life is not going to be doom and gloom,” said Ms Kennedy.

“People’s reactions, people’s tones, people’s words have such a massive impact,” added Ms Howard.
