How I nearly terminated my son through ignorance | Nicola Enoch | TEDxLeamingtonSpa

Every day many expectant parents are presented with a choice; when a medical professional expresses 'concern' that a baby may have Down Syndrome (DS). What would you do?

In this powerful talk Nicola shares her experience around having a son with DS; a child she believed she didn’t want but who has become her inspiration to campaign and challenge the fear and ignorance that all too often surround DS. Nicola runs the well-respected and highly successful charity, The Ups of Downs. Her journey began on 17 August 2004, the day after her son, Tom, was born and the day on which a Paediatrician shared their ‘concern’ that Tom may have Down Syndrome (DS). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
