So, my daughter's 2 month visit is in a few weeks and that's the one where they want to do the first set of vaccines.... And I am so messed up over the whole thing. I have so much anxiety thinking about it... Literally having a reaccurring nightmare almost every night about it... Ugh. I hate it....
I am pretty much anti vaccines... But my husband is hardcore for it.... I thought we had agreed on at least postponing them and separating them so that she's not bombarded with them.... But now he's kinda going back on that...
Anyway... Have any of you other moms done that? Held off a few months and split up the shots a bit? Or have you done them all at once and had no problems?
Please share any and all stories....
Without being negative towards me cause I'm anti vaccination... Please.
Im just really scared...
@kambam Everything you just said is what I believe... And like you said... It's not even believing... That's just truth!!! I just wish my husband could see it like that. Thanks for sharing

@cambria don't read honey just go to your child doctor and he or she will explain it to you. You're just making yourself more nervous. As @cambria said you will have a say which shot you want your child to have. My advice is with how the world is right now think about daycare, schools and etc and how not not being vaccinated or up to date can affect that. I know there are many horrid stories but for me I asked myself what if it isn't the vaccine that cause it but something else that the doctors can't figure out?
Im antivax soley because its unnatural. Babies are working on building their own immune systems which are fully developed by 2 at the earliest. Bombarding them with vaccines (whether you believe in them or not) is harmful to their immune systems. It does cause reactions that can be mild or severe. Anywhere from food allergies to full blown auto immune disorders. Vaccines aren't fully tested and their efficacy is questionable. To compromise and ease your mind, perhaps holding off in them as long as possible and only getting the recommended shots for that years enrollment. Sometimes schools will work with you on delayed schedules.
A bodies best defense is natural immunity, good food, and sunshine. Best of luck ❤
@cambria I agree with @deafmama16 ! Look into the different shots, they give them like 4 every 2 months , but read each one and see which ones you feel comfy with your daughter having and others that you don't think she really needs , that may help you relax a bit , at least having a say on which ones she gets !
@deafmama16 I've read the first round of shots at two months is 8 shots which scares me... 😭 But thank you for sharing. ❤️
We got the shot for son and I was scare too but having it done at the right time and being to date with it my son is fine and super healthy. Just keep an eye on your child if you still get the shots. Your child this young will only get one or two shot they really space it out for age. They are going to be tired afterwards so that's normal. Where I am if I didn't get the vaccine shots I wouldn't have WIC and my son wouldn't be able to be in daycare. Hang in there mama
@claudiaporteous Thank you!! Yeah... As much as I wanna split them up, I don't wanna have to have her go through it more times.... Ugh. But, it just seems so dangerous so young, all at once. I've read so many bad stories... And I've heard a lot like yours as well.. Where everything was all good. The fact is there is a risk. Either way you go there's a risk. That's life. God, I just feel like this is the biggest decision of my life....
😭😭😭 Which isn't really a decision cause if it were up to me she wouldn't get them but that's not an option for my husband. So it's really just deciding how to distribute them to her... Oh man.... It sucks.
Haha. Anyway, thank you for responding and sorry for my ranting.
❤️❤️
I was super scared as well , but my hubby convinced me to get it done, I couldnt think to keep going and getting them done at different times, so he got all the shots when he was supposed to , and thankfully we didn't have any issues!
But it's up to you , your the mom, do what feels most comfortable for you
I don't vaccinate. After my son started seizing an hour after his 12 month shots. I started doing research and showing my husband he was hardcore for vaccine until I started showing him the information I was finding and etc.
