Nobody Told Me Book
£10.00
Finding out your baby has Down syndrome can bring a lot of feelings at once. Love, worry, hope, questions – sometimes all in the same breath. PADS – Nobody told me… was created to sit alongside families in those early moments, offering reassurance, understanding and real-life perspective.
This much-loved book is written by parents, for parents. It gently shares honest experiences from families who have been where you are now, alongside practical information that helps make sense of the early days and months ahead. It doesn’t rush you or tell you how to feel. It simply says: you’re not alone, and there is so much to look forward to.
Many families tell us they return to this book again and again. Some read it cover to cover. Others dip in when they need comfort or clarity. It’s often shared with partners, grandparents and close friends to help them understand and support your family too.

One mum recently told us:
“Currently 18 weeks pregnant with our baby girl with a confirmed Down syndrome diagnosis. She is already so loved and we just want to do the best for her.
I wanted to say a huge thank you for the PADS book. It needs to come with a warning that you will cry! The book is absolutely beautiful and it’s helped with the worries we’ve had and helped us feel so positive and excited for her arrival.
I showed the book to one of my friends who also sobbed whilst reading it. It’s so lovely we found it online and ordered two extra copies for the grandparents.”
Whether you’re newly pregnant, awaiting results, or supporting someone welcoming a baby with Down syndrome into their family, this book offers calm, clarity and connection at a time when those things really matter.
All proceeds from this book support Down Syndrome UK, helping us continue to provide trusted information, training and ongoing support for families across the UK.
