Support for Postnatal Diagnosis: Navigating the Journey with trisomy

Not all babies with Trisomy 13 or 18 are diagnosed before birth. Receiving a postnatal diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience. Suddenly, there is no time to plan or prepare for the arrival of a baby with special health needs, nor is there time to learn about their trisomy condition or seek support for the grief you may be experiencing. It is an incredibly challenging and emotional time for parents and families.

However, whether the diagnosis is made before or after birth, it is important to remember that your baby will follow the same care pathway. Support and assistance following a postnatal diagnosis can be found right here on our website. We have dedicated sections in the "Support" and "About Trisomy" categories that offer valuable resources and guidance for parents in similar situations.

We understand the unique challenges you may be facing and are here to provide a sense of community, information, and support. If you require further information or support, don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team. They are here to provide additional insights and guidance to support you along the way.

Remember, you are not alone. We are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
