Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I just joined you all, a few days ago I posted my introduction. There has been something on my mind. No, I do not want to vaccinate. But in the back of my mind I have a fear. When I was pregnant with my youngest (he's now 4 months)I developed Pertussis (Whooping Cough). I developed it when I was about 6months pregnant. I had the last remnants of it until he was about a week old. I had horrible coughing fits for months. (I was vaccinated as a kid). They were so bad and so close together I thought I'd never get a breath inbetween them, and I did this several times an hour. Words truly can't describe how horrible the coughing was. My midwife didn't diagnosis me till much later. I refused the meds (except the inhaler - which I desperately needed) because of the baby. Here's my concern...I have no idea how I caught something like this. I'm a SAHM/Homeschooling Mother. I had a rough pregnancy so I did'nt get out much. I hardly ever get a cold much less this. What scares me is (the baby) catching this one day. I personally know how difficult this was to go through - I couldn't imagine a small child going through this. Is it normal for me to worry about the what if's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
