We do some, but not others... Our doc is very supportive & has done much independent research on his own. He respects our choices, & gives advice based on the circumstances. If you do give vacs., he recommends spacing them, & giving high doses of vitamin C the day of to counteract the negative effects. He recommends delaying if breastfeeding exclusively, as baby gets much of mama's antibodies. I have a very good, unbiased, just the facts book on vaccinations, that was very helpful in our decision making. A friend has borrowed it, so I don't have them exact title, but I believe the author was Aviva Romme..forgive me if I got it wrong, as I said I don't have it right here to reference. Check you library & Amazon for it. I want to say it might be called, "Vaccinations; a Thoughtful Approach". Another wonderful pregnancy book in general is "The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy" by Shonda Parker. Excellent information! I would say do your research, & follow you convictions...

"The Naturally Healthy Pregnancy" is a great book indeed! :) I think another factor is if your child will be in daycare/homeschooled, etc. Since I'm a stay at home mom, we're putting off the required vaccines for daycare.

I believe in vaccines just not so many shots mixed into one. We get them one at a time now. When my son got the mmr shot he had seizures and it started night terrors. He has now been dx'd with autism. His language skills dropped dramatically after those shots. We space them out now with hid Dr's support and understanding. She also used thimerasol free vaccines. Not every pediactrician does.

Thanks everyone for sharing your stories to this question. It is definitely on my mind. On an up note, I got a very good report on the baby's health when I saw the specialist. Me being older and all, doctors worry.

Laurie drs, do the same with me. I'm not saying there is nothing to worry about but both my maternal and paternal grandmothers had children till ripe old ages! I think paternal great grandmother was nearly 50 when she had my grandmother, and my maternal grandmother had her last at 45 she said the only reason he was her last is grandpa died! (plane crash). Any way...I look around at my cousins and I have cousins 15 years older then me having babies. So far so good! I'm in my late 30's. But, so far so good as far as my age goes on having babies. I think some women-maybe ones with genes that aren't the best when it comes to later pregnancies may have problems. But, so far on both sides of my family age doesn't seem to play a part. So I take the drs worries with grains of salt. I think half the battle is keeping a positive attitude, when you have negative thinking going on (not you specifically I mean in general) it can cause your body to make hormones that actually can negatively effect your baby, I think having a positive attitude and not being worried about my age playing in it has helped my pregnancies come out ok. (not saying that it's all in the attitude, I had still born twin boys and was positive the whole time, but the dr said it was a fluke and had nothing to with my health, they didn't know why, but it was a fluke and was no reason they could pin point it to, so any one who lost babies and had a good attitude during pregnancy, I do know that's not every thing to it, I just think it does help though).
When are you due Laurie? I'll probably be popping this one out in July! lol

end of sept beginning of Oct. Harvest season around these parts and hubby is nervous. there is enough family around, his side is huge! I'm not too worried and know we will have help.
I agree that attitude helps. July isn't too far away! Best of luck.
