I will try the HP for pertussis and try to give it enough time for the titer to rise sufficiently. If it doesn't and you don't want me around, then so be it. I have to take care of myself. Now it is your turn to take care of your daughter. I pray, I really, really pray, that she is in part of the population that tolerates the assault on her brain. It is now twice what it was when you were little. If, G-d-forbid she is not (and you'll know within 2-3 years), then remember this: Ketogenic diet, probiotics and Rarum(sp? developed in Italy, I believe)
Daddy will not put anything additional in his body. Not even the HP, he says. So, there you have it."
DH wrote back that if we were wrong, she would be risking slight discomforts and/or an infinitesimally increased risk of negative side effects; but if she's wrong, she's risking the life of our baby. And that is not a gamble we'll take.
@migdala Wow... selfish much? I'm glad your DH stood his ground.

@migdala you're doing the right thing by standing your ground. It's only two months, don't let her guilt you into going against your instincts.
I just read a NYT article about a soon-to-be mother who was in this situation with her dad. He was refusing up until a little while before the birth when he cut his hand and got the tdap while in the hospital as a precaution. It disgusts me that he was happy to get the shot to protect himself, but wouldn't do it to protect his grandchild. People suck.
@sjohns08 oh I'm glad I'm not the only one. One of my friends on FB has referred to her husband as Daddy ever since they became parents. "Daddy (name) brought me flowers today" or "Daddy (name) is meeting me for lunch." WTF?!
@migdala I am sorry you are dealing with that. She sounds a bit passive-aggressive and attempting to fear monger. Great job to your husband for standing his ground!

@migdala big props to your H for sticking with you and telling his mother off.
I hope everyone s having a good week start. Havent been on TB a lot lately because..
TW my body : Dr told me i got BV (asymptomatic) and low papp a hormones as well. TW myself : for some reason that really got me down. And it got me to doubt me "knowing my body"... now i associate every little feeling to BV (paranoid). TW google : everywhere i read about low papp a and BV all i see is "risk of mc" or stuff that make it seem 45 times worse than what the Dr said it actually means.
I think all of you bragging about finding out the sex in May are TW! I'll only be 18w4d at my next appointment in May and they won't do the anatomy until after 20 weeks, so I get to wait until my then next appointment which won't be until the end of June!
Just catching up on TW Tuesday. But I am 16 weeks right now and won't have my anatomy scan until June. I'll be 22-23 weeks. ::sigh::

@migdala Good on DH for bringing you back in to the conversation. Bad on her for removing you and trying to undermine you through her son. I share a lot of your frustrations in this but ultimately, it's actually quite sad that they won't do this for the safety of their grandchild.
I'm sorry your going through that, but they have made their decision. They have made it sound like they were banished but that is not at all the case. Maybe they will change their minds, but know that you did the best thing for your LO, together.
i am really broken up about how there is no way for me to watch Charlie Hunnam now that SOA is over. so that is a TW.
Have you seen the preview for the movie King Arthur? This might be old news (I don't have cable), but I just saw the preview for the first time and there are some glorious shirtless Charlie Hunnam scenes so I obviously had to come back here and relay this information. I apologize if this has already been discussed!

She's definitely a selfish TW. Good for your dh for standing his ground!
