<title>Down Syndrome</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ <p><font size="2"><font color="#ff1493">めちゃムズい題材やけど、頑張って書いてみます</font><img alt="ニコニコ" src="https://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/139.gif" width="16" height="16"></font></p><p><font color="#ff1493" size="2">宜しければお付き合いください。</font></p><p><font color="#ff1493" size="2">日本語訳は後半にあります。</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">Today, I left my daughter with my husband and went to Minami for a massage, which I had been planning for the last few weeks.</font></p><p><font size="3">I got my stiff neck and shoulders completely massaged for 30 minutes.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">After that, at McDonald's, I read Japan Times Weekly which I had started to subscribe to recently.</font></p><p><font size="3">One of the articles was about Down Syndrome, and was really suggestive.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">Pregnant women can take a test to confirm whether they're having babies with Down Syndrome.</font></p><p class="qotCE"><font size="3">In a conventional manner, they had to collect tissues from the placenta by pricking the belly with a needle four months or more into the pregnancy, which had a tiny chance for miscarriage.</font></p><p class="qotCE"><font size="3">But this time next year, a simple blood test that offers accurate result for Down Syndrome very early in pregnancy will be available.</font></p><p class="qotCE"><font size="3"><br></font></p><p class="qotCE"><font size="3">The new test will enable women to know the result earlier in a pregnancy, so there is concern that it could encourage women to decide to abort the pregnancy.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">In the latter part of the article, a woman who gave birth to a Down Syndrome baby, knowing the result of the test, was introduced.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff" size="3"><em>As her doctor gave her the news, her baby kicked and "I could see my belly move," she recalled.</em></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff" size="3"><em>She gave birth to Grady in February 2010.</em></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff" size="3"><em>"When they first gave him to me, I saw tiny little hands and he had the most beautiful eyes. He didn't have'Down Syndrome' stamped on his forehead. He cried and he peed, and he pooped. He was a baby."</em></font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">After reading her comment, I cried.</font></p><p><font size="3">I'm also a mother who got through the labor and I can clealy remember the emotional moment when I first saw my baby.</font></p><p><font size="3">I pledged myself to protect her, holding her in my arm for the first time.</font></p><p><font size="3">It was the best moment I'd ever had.</font></p><p><font size="3">I was really happy to see my baby in health.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">I wonder, however, whether I had been able to continue the pregnancy if I had known I was having a baby with anything unusual.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">I'm weak.</font></p><p><font size="3">My priority would be my own life.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">That's why I respect the woman. She must have worried for a long time before she made the dicision to give birth, devoting her own life to her baby.</font></p><p><font size="3"><br></font></p><p><font size="3">I'm planning to have another baby., so it wasn't anyone else's plobrem.</font></p><br><br><br><p>今日は、旦那に娘を預けて、久々にミナミの町へ繰り出しました。</p><p>実は、前々からたくらんでいた、マッサージを受けに！</p><p>30分しっかりもみほぐしてもらいました～。</p><br><p>その後、最近購読し始めたジャパンタイムズウィークリーをマクドで読みました。</p><p>その記事のひとつに、すごく考えさせられました。</p><p>それは、ダウン症の早期発見についてのもの。</p><br><p>母親が妊娠中に、お腹の子供がダウン症かどうかを判定することができるのですが、</p><p>従来の検査方法は、妊娠がかなり進んでからお腹に針を刺して調べるものだったので、</p><p>流産のリスクを伴っていました。</p><br><p>でも、来年には、妊娠の初期段階で母親の血液検査により、</p><p>判定ができるようになるのだそう。</p><br><p>早い段階で分かってしまう、ということが、中絶を助長するのではないか、</p><p>という懸念があるとのことでした。</p><br><p>その記事の最後の方に、</p><p>検査でお腹の子供がダウン症であるとわかって、出産した方の言葉がありました。</p><br><p>ダウン症であると医者が彼女に告げたとき、赤ちゃんは彼女のお腹を蹴り、そして彼女は、お腹の赤ちゃんが動いたのが分かったという。</p><p>彼女は、2010年の2月に、Grady君を出産した。</p><p>彼女は言う。「初めて彼を手渡されたとき、ちっちゃなおててに、とびっきりキレイな目をしているのがわかりました。彼のおでこに「ダウン症です」なんて印はなかった。彼は泣き、おしっこしてうんちをしました。彼は赤ちゃんだったのよ。」</p><br><p>これを読んで、思わず泣いてしまいました。</p><br><p>私も出産を経験した母親ですが、初めて娘に対面したときの感動はわすれません。</p><p>一生守って行こうって思った。</p><p>本当に、会えたのがうれしくてたまらなかった。</p><br><p>でも、もし妊娠中に子供に何か普通でないものが見つかったとして、</p><p>私は妊娠を続けられただろうか？と思います。</p><br><p>私は弱い。</p><p>自分の人生も、大切。</p><br><p>だから、いっぱい悩んだに違いないのに、</p><p>わかっていながら産むという選択をした彼女が本当にすごいと思った。</p><br><p>今、二人目を考えている私だから、人事とは思えなかった。</p><br><br><br><br><br>
