To have a young girl give birth to a Down's Syndrome baby? Is there even one instance, in all of recorded history, when this has happened? Down's Syndrome is typically indicitive of pregnancies in women who are older.

~Jeordam


Yes, there have been many cases of DS babies born to young mothers - the majority of them, in fact. Among older mothers you see a greater % risk, but fewer cases overall because there are also fewer pregnancies/births.

I see your point, and it does make more sense for Trig to be Sarah's baby. Your phrasing just seems rather insensitive to the many young mothers of DS children.
