You're husband may not necessarily have the Down syndrome allele.
Also the only way you would have a special needs baby is if you also have the recessive (down syndrome) allele.
Here are the chances:
If neither of you have the recessive (down syndrome) allele - 0%
If one of you have the recessive allele - 0%
If you both have the recessive allele - 25%
The chances are pretty low but it is not definite that you wont have a special needs baby.
