title: [Notifying parents of Down's syndrome: the experiences of parents].
abstract: Healthcare professionals are the first people to see a baby during the ultrasound or in the delivery room, and therefore the first to see any disabilities it may have. Their initial reaction is crucial. Through first-hand accounts from parents, the association 'Regards sur la trisomie 21' emphasises just how important it is for professionals to take care when making the announcement and to provide support to parents.
