Which 2-month vaccinations did you get?

[Heaven]

Thankyou for your opinions everyone!! It's such a hard decision to make. So far she hasn't had anything. She hasn't had Hep B and won't be getting it, she's not at risk. She just had the vit K orally.

Well well well... DH was wanting to get DD vaccinated, he didn't really know much about it and he always trusts doctors and doesn't believe there could be anything wrong with vaccinations bc 'everyone does it' 'Drs wouldn't tell you too if it wasn't safe' etc etc. So bc he wouldn't just take it from me that it was a bad idea I told him he had to research it himself and tell me what he'd found. So I just got an email from him saying he doesn't think we should get DD 'immunised' bc he can't see any benefit and there's too many risks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think we should get her immunised.... I'll talk to you later about it, but there is no point from what I can see. All risk for no pay off.

I can't believe it!! For my DH to say that then there really must be lots of bad points about vaccination.

I have been feeling sick about it all day, thinking I have to make a decision. It's so hard. Esp when you see shows like that stupid Sunday night show last night. I know it was a stupid biased story on vaccination but still the video of that little baby with whooping cough made me cry and I can't get it out of my head

Hon, I cried for those babies too... but I still wont do it.

The part about Sunday night that annoyed me the most was the doctor saying that Vac's are 100% safe. And they ARE NOT. And that is a fact. There is a risk with every single one of them. And the doctors do know that. It is our choice to weigh up those risks, and to not tell the public about these risks is just disgusting.

And there is no point the doctor jumping on the "unvac'd kids are hurting the Vac'd kids"
bandwagon either.That is just stupid. Unless we stop anyone ever leaving or re-entering the country, these dieseases will be bought here, but they aren't here due to my un vac'd daughter!! Its people not staying HOME when they are sick, or taking precautions, that spread disease, vac and unvac alike.

Good luck with your choice, it is a very hard one babe!!

And also them saying they're 100% effective!! Not true!!

Thanks PB!

Actually they are far from 100% effective.

Do you know how the little bubba got whooping cough??

It sooo annoys me that sick people hang around babies!! Even if you dont know that you have it, the first symptoms are cold and flu like, so you do know that are sick in some way, and you have to be in constant contact for hours to catch it.

My girlfriend just travelled here to see me and the kids, and she was sick. I was so damn cranky. She could of come later! I wouldn't let her and her 4 kids come here, we met them in the park and she had to go get accomodation.

But what sort of parent would I be to let a sick family into my house?? My family, my choice!!!


eta.. I disticntly remember wearing a face mask for every breastfeed for about a week when my first born was little and I had a cold!!! My Ilws just came back from Japan, and everyone with a sniffle wears a face mask in public!!

Do you know how the little bubba got whooping cough??

Nope??

OMG how rude of ur friend!!

The baby would have been exposed by anyone she came in contact with. Hence my decision to limit 'public' contact for at least 12 months, like someone said, shopping centres and babies in strollers just don't mix.
