This brief report is based on a case study of a 15 year old pregnant woman, Emma with a family history of Downs syndrome. The discussion is focused on Emmas spiritual, physical, emotional and social needs during pregnancy, and the role of the nurse and NHS services. The importance of decision making in clinical management and informed consent have been highlighted in the context of Emmas pregnancy and possibility of termination of pregnancy. Considering that Emmas family member has shown Downs syndrome, the social responsibilities of having a child including possibilities of a genetic disorder are pointed out to Emma during an extensive counselling process to help her with informed decision making. Several social, biological, emotional and spiritual factors are considered to emphasise on the need for holistic care.
