Two mums to children with Down's syndrome are on a mission to change perceptions after they say they were treated as if they were going through a bereavement when they received their baby's diagnosis.
Laura Thomas and Lou Kennedy are both parents to children with Down's syndrome. They were both given the diagnosis following the births of their children Arwel (Laura's son) and Mya (Lou's daughter), and both struggled to navigate the overwhelming feelings that came with it.
The Cardiff mums said they had amazing experiences with their hospital care, but that they were both left feeling like the information they were given was treating the diagnosis as a "bereavement", and they were left to turn to Google to find help and advice that wasn't always accurate.
