I like how you connected the gestational diabetes to how it effects not only the mother, but also the child. I wonder how gestational diabetes causes premature births and low birth weights. That would be something really interesting to research to get more information on. Also, I did not know that the risk of Down Syndrome got so high in women over 40. Down Syndrome is something that my family has always known about because my mother's older sister had Down Syndrome. I always that it was interesting because people always talk about how older women are typically the parents of children with Down Syndrome, but my grandmother was 18 when she had my aunt. It kind of helps me to put in perspective that we really do not have control over how our "genetic cards" get dealt sometimes.
