Down syndrome (sometimes called Downâs syndrome) is a condition in which a child is born with an extra copy of their 21st chromosome (hence its other name, Trisomy 21). This causes physical and mental developmental delays and disabilities. Many of the disabilities are lifelong and they can also shorten life expectancy.
Though the likelihood of carrying a baby with Down syndrome can be estimated by screening during pregnancy, you wonât experience any symptoms of carrying a child with Down syndrome. At birth, babies with Down syndrome usually have certain characteristic signs, including: flat facial features; small head and ears; short neck; bulging tongue; eyes that slant upward; atypically shaped ears; poor muscle tone; An infant with Down syndrome can be born an average size, but will develop more slowly than a child without the condition.
