Guest guest Posted October 24, 1998 Report Share Posted October 24, 1998 Hi, I have been on the list but have not introduced myself. I am a SAHM with 5 children. Stay really BUSY! I had my 1st child (he is now 17)in the hospital, had an awful experience so I had a midwife with the other 4. Unfortunately my last, I had a difficult pregnancy & gave birth in the hospital. I am still nursing her, she now is 10 months old. I loved having a midwife & having my children at home. My first 3 had vaccinations. :•( I just did it because I thought it was okay. When it was time for my 3rd child (he is now 12) to enter school we had moved & I took him to a clinic to receive the vaccinations along with my daughter( she is now 14). It wasn't until then that I really paid attention to the consent forms I was signing. I had the worst feeling come over me that day. It was like I had done something terribly wrong. I just left & said I would never do that again. That's when I begin to question the vaccinations. If they were suppose to be so good for my children then why in the world would I have to take responsibility for them??? My 4th daughter who is 4 years old has never had one vaccination, that is something I am proud of!! M last daughter who is 10 months old had the Hep shot before leaving the hospital. That I am NOT proud of! I am thankful for hospitals & doctors when emergencies arise but other than that I don't have much for them. All my children had asthma. My 3rd child had it the worst, lasting until he was age 10. The others it went away by age 2. My youngest has not had any trouble yet. My close family supports the decision not to vaccinate any more. I am fortunate that my children go to a private school that does not require vaccinations. I don't leave them at a daycare . The physician we use ask me when I first started using him If I would rather pay him for the vaccinations or go to the health clinic for free, I just said why would I want to pay for those. He assumed I'd take them to the clinic and it has been left at that. Why stir up a hornets nest when you can leave it alone. Congratulations ! I had the worst mornng sickness with my last pregnacy. Try Red Raspberry. It is a herb. It is great for morning sickness, also helps with your entire pregnancy and is high in iron. I wish I could guarentee it taking away the morning sickness but I can't. It also helped me to eat very small portions freguently all day long. Of course the smell or sight of any type of red meat made me VERY SICK. You know there could be something to that theory of your body protecting the Baby! Sorry SO Long!!! Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
