What vaccines do you get yourself??

[Guest guest]

The only vaccines I've EVER had in my life were given to me one time

when I went to a clinic before going overseas to study abroad a few

years ago. I remember for certain that I got the Hep B and MMR vaccines

and I'm 80% sure that the third one I got was for tetanus, but a little

foggy on that one. I never went back for any booster shots or to finish

the Hep B rounds because I got sick from this one time and decided

against ever doing it again.

Now I'm having my first baby and I'm wondering if I should be getting

any vaccines myself simply to decrease the risk of bringing diseases

home to him. I'm thinking specifically about diseases that wouldn't be

so harmful to me, but could be very harmful to him, like pertussis. I'm

not sure how this works because this thought just dawned on me today.

Any thoughts, links to articles, advice, etc. would be great!

I would trust your immune system to protect you & your family more than

I ever would any vaccines. I especially would not get any vaccines

while you are pregnant. I'm sure others here will have more specific

info. I just wanted to respond. :-) You don't know how lucky you are

that those are the only vaccines that you have received.

I get none as they are all dangerous, unnecessary and don't give

immunity anyway

Once you know the reality of each disease - true risk of getting,

true risk if get it, alternative treatment, you see that vaccination

is meaningless and not even considered in your life

Hello, my suggestion would be to NOT get vaccinated yourself. If you get

vaccinated and

breast feeding, who knows what may be passed to the baby. Plus your immune

system will

be decreased and therefore make you more susceptible to illness. Keep yourself

healthy by

eating right, getting sleep when you can, and talking to a naturopath for

possible

supplements would be good. You can't keep your baby from getting sick, it's good

for them

as it builds their immune system but you can help their immune system fight

disease by

keeping it as healthy as possible. Learn the signs and symptoms of the various

childhood

diseases but don't be paranoid about them. My son was born last September, I

work in a

clinic, and he was fine except for some colds during teething (which lasts

forever!). I too was

paranoid at first but more likely than not, they will be just fine, especially

if they're healthy.

I got the ones that were called for when I was a child, Hep B, Polio,

and MMR. I opted out of the ones I was " required " for college and

have not gotten anything since. I WILL NOT get anything ever again.

There is so much crap in them that you could possibly pass on to your

child while nursing or pregnant that I just don't think it is a good

idea. When you look at the diseases they are supposed to protect from

most are not that bad typically even as a child and the vaccines don't

gurantee immunity any way. You mentioned pertussis and as long as you

know the symptoms that can be treated most the time with little effect

to the babe, but you need to know the symptoms and be proactive when

it comes to medical care if you beleive your child has it.

I know I post this over and over, so forgive me for repeating myself, but

for the new people, here's the CDC's own lists of vaccine contents. I urge

you NOT to put ANY of these in your child's or your bodies, ever! As

parents, we should all be given copies of these lists (at the VERY least) as

well as the package insert for every injection the doctor is proposing, and

be given time to actually READ them before consenting to the injections for

our children.

I am 42 years old, I've only had one vaccine in my life, it was at age 5 and it

was done at

the airport upon entry into Australia from the former Yugoslavia. We were not

given a

choice in this matter, it was the vaccine or no entry. I was not vaccinated as

a child and

I've never been vaccinated again. I got smallpox at the airport, my family in

Yugoslavia

DO NOT believe in vaccinations, they don't see doctors, only in emergencies. I

NEVER get

sick, I never go to the doctor, I am very healthy and all of my non vaccinated

family

members are the same, we lived in a poor country could not have proper nutrition

and we

live long and healthy despite not having adequate nutrition. I've lived in

Australia,

Canada, and the USA, and i have seen more sick people in the USA. Allergies,

endless

colds, pills, bad diets (even though there is available good food!), antibiotics

and so on.

My American husbands parents and his siblings all take vaccinations and they

rely on their

pills to get by, and they still get sick and still need antibiotics to stay

alive. I never want to

live this way. Sherry is right, vaccines do not provide immunity, I say they

line the pockets

of the suppliers.

Your body already came equipt with an immune system ready to protect you, don't

abuse

it.

I think I've only been vaxed for polio and tetanus - perhaps small pox.

As for vaxing while your pregnant (or even before) I wouldn't. Instead I'd

work on getting rid of all the toxins in the house and focus on eating lots

of fresh raw organic foods -- and skip all the processed junk (white flour,

sugar, cookies, cake, etc).

Good luck.

I'm 33. I was vaccinated as a child with whatever the norm was back

then. Fewer than 10 vaccines, from what I remember. I had my tet.

boosters throughout grade school (Mom worked in a hospital) and was told

I had to have meningitis and MMR to go to college at 17. Those were the

last ones I had, and the last ones I will ever have, as long as I have

any say about it.

I wouldn't get vaccinated. ly, natural immunity is far better in

the first place, and it is unclear of vaxxed immunity (I know some

people say there's no such thing) is passed onto a child via

breastfeeding anyway. Most of the illnesses you're not going to be

exposed to. The pertussis vaccine is one that even pro-vaxxers say is

only 59-80% effective, and it doesn't come by itself, only in DTaP.

Oh, and vaccinating while pregnant? That would freak me out. There's

another human in there, and its not anywhere near done developing. It's

very unclear what effects chemicals have on developing fetuses.

Just my opinion.

I just wanted to thank everyone for your responses. I also wanted to

clarify that I wasn't considering getting any vaccines while

pregnant, I was wondering if I should get any after the baby arrives

(which could be any day now!). I didn't have any plans of getting

anymore vaccines and after reading your responses I don't think that

will change. Thanks for your help!
