[Guest guest]

Hello. I've just joined today. Here is a bit about me:

I'm 38 and was born and raised in the USA but am now living north of

Bristol in the UK. I was vaccinated normally as one would be post

1970. I don't think I had any childhood illnesses except for chicken

pox. As an adult, I've had ME/CFS, although before I got pregnant I

was getting much better and now I'm waiting for everything to settle

to see if I'm still much better. (Think so.)

On October 21st I gave birth to my first child: Elsie. She is

scheduled for a newborn check on December 24th (at 9 weeks). 100%

sure I will not give her vaccinations then (although she is scheduled

for them). But whether I postpone them or what, I'm not sure. There's

so much information! I have so many questions! But I'm starting to

read things and hope to become well-informed soon-ish.

(Additional info: My partner is English. Is 32 and had all his

vaccinations here in the UK. He had mumps and chicken pox as a child.

We eat very healthily, nearly 100% of it organic, and much of it home

grown in our allotment. I am breastfeeding and plan to do extended

breastfeeding [at least two years]. Elsie won't have solids until

she's six months old. We don't know much about alternative health.)

Looking forward to learning from you all!
