About 14 babies a day, which is approximately 5,000 a year in the US.

More parents are choosing now to have their Down baby born, rather than terminate the pregnancy, due to better health care and social programs, and disabilities are more accepted now in our society.

Can medications - such as Valium or Xanax - cause Down syndrome?

Nobody really knows exactly what causes Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome is a condition where a baby is born with an extra chromosome in their DNA. There is some evidence that says having a baby at an older age (40 and above) may have a higher risk of having a Down Syndrome baby. Taking medicines cannot cause you to develop Down Syndrome, because it's something you are born with; however, taking addictive drugs while you are pregnant does cause serious damage in the unborn baby, and many babies born to alcoholics and drug addicts have brain damage. There is a possibility that Down Syndrome could occur if the chromosomes are damaged.
