It's Down Syndrome awareness month this October, and I'm sat down with Vicky Garnett-Ash, who tells her story of giving birth to her third child and her life since. 

Unbeknownst to her, Layla was to be born with three holes in her heart and Down Syndrome, and what was supposed to be a relaxing home birth, turned into an ambulance to several hospitals straight after birth, followed by surgeries, ICU and a lot of worries. Luckily, Layla is at home today with her family, and is doted upon by her two older brothers. 

Vicky and her family are on a journey to learn as much as possible about Down Syndrome, and at the same time, Vicky is sharing her learnings and information on her social media accounts, in the hope that it can help people like herself find comfort and knowledge about something that we as a society still know very little about.
