Re: RH Negative Shot QUESTION

[Guest guest]

Since you’ve had the shot afterward, you should be OK. I’ve never heard

of anyone getting it twice!

You don’t need the shot during unless you miscarry or do have an

injury.. then I might be say OK. But for a normal, healthy pregnancy,

you do not need the 28 week shot

To know for sure about the mercury, you’d have to read the package

insert. There WAS mercury in the shot I had with my last pregnancy.

Was your baby Rh negative or positive? If the baby was negative, you have

nothing to be worried about.

I don't know how effective the RhoGam shot is. When I was pregnant with my

first, they gave it to me while I was pregant. I didn't know enough then

about it or vaccinations in general. I don't remember at what stage in my

pregnancy it was. In hindsight I know I didn't need it then, as I had never

had a child before so therefore didn't have any antibodies against pos.

Then they gave me the shot again after delivery (my daughter is Rh

positive). They tried to give me the shot again while I was pregnant with

my son, but I declined as I had already had it 5 years prior. I told them

that if my son was positive, they could give me the shot after I delivered

(he is, and they did, but I'm not having any more children).

I researched it a lot while I was pregnant, and the RhoGam shot does (or

did) contain mercury, quite a lot of it, if memory serves. This was, hmmm,

almost 7 years ago now. Bayer does make a shot that does NOT contain

mercury. I looked into getting it. I would have had to order it in special

as nobody stocks it, and ONE injection cost $800 (not covered by insurance,

of course). I had no insurance at the time, so was paying for the

pregnancy/delivery out of pocket, and just couldn't come up wit hthe $$ for

that, so took the mercury myself after my son was born.

Best,

Yes, that's the shot I got. The one from Bayer. I remember a lot of

people who have austistic children got the shot (on top of vaccines)

and the one they got had mercury in it. Thanks for the info

I was told if the blood mixed during my pregnancy due to some

unforeseen circumstance that it would be too late to get the shot and

then my future children would suffer.

I hope it's okay to ask you this but I was wondering what happened to

your baby Christian? If I have upset you, please forgive me.

PS my b-day is feb 6th!

I was told the same thing but I was also told that it is very, very rare

and the risk is not enough for the risk of the shot, imo. Esp. when you

know it has mercury in it!

Christian died of unpresented hydrocephalous, we had 3 days warning.

It’s sad but it would be sadder still to not be able to share him with

people.

HMMMM time for me to do some research. My dd is 17 months, vax free,

dairy free, and I took morphine during pregnancy and she would up with

dry patches on her back. I really think it's lack of fat and upped

her fish oil and bathe her less during the cold dry months, but now I

want to look into it more! I'll let you know what I find. They swore

to me that the morphine was safe, but I don' think it was...

If you come across anything let me know, I'll do the same

: )

[Guest guest]

There was no mercury or anything and they said if she was born at

that time (28 weeks roughly) then she would have breathing issues for

a short time. The patches are her back may be excema. Sophia's are

white and flat but a bit rough to the feel. If I use aquafor ointment

they go away. I believe excema is really a genetic thing, although I

read a ton of studies that said If I took probiotics during my

pregnancy excema was greatly reduced. And I did and her excema is so

so mild. I really don't think the morphine did anything to her and

there could be an issue of addiction IF I took it all of the time. I

waited 8 hours in pain without anything and I just couldn't take it.

I had several shots as I started with the smallest possible dose. I

was in the ER directing the doctors/nurses like I was one!

they finally asked me what I did for a living! I was in pharma sales

and just understood more about category (A B C) safety than they did.

the doctor claimed morphine was a category b..it was C after I called

and made the pharmacist bring up the product insert to me for me to

read. I totally didn't trust them. -

Check out the one by Bayer. It doesn't have mercury in it. I totally

researched this one. Ordering it is SO easy for the doctor to do.

Don't let anyone give you any of the old ones. You can always check

online or ask me and I will pull my files for the #'s to speak to the

company directly. You will speak to a pharmacist who can tell you

exactly what's in it. They can't lie. and you can also get a copy of

the product insert and follow along as they direct you to the right

spot.

I am so sorry about Christian. That is heartbreaking.
