Immunizations

I’m a mom of two and my youngest just got shots. She received the T dap and the hib To be specific now she’s sick and I’m sick.
I expressed this concern with the pediatrician stating that at the time I’m 10 weeks pregnant with a compromised immune system due to other medical issues that are too personal. I’m not going to disclose the dr threw percentages at me of the chances of her getting sick and the chances of her getting me sick I’m like OK go for it. She needs them according to the CDC so do what you’re supposed to do is what I told myself. 
I should’ve listened to my instincts and pushed her shots aside. I’m a stay at home mom my kids do not go to daycare nor do any other Littles come here. I’m so upset with myself thinking that I did the wrong thing and not what my Instincts told me which was  to postpone her shots  🤦🏻‍♀️
I’m so unsure of myself with this pregnancy 

Re: Immunizations

  • I have a lot of opinions about vaccines- those 2 especially, but one thing I will say is always trust your instincts. It's your child, your family, your responsibility. The pediatrician may pressure you to do the shots now, when you wanted to wait, but they aren't the ones taking care of you guys now that you're sick. I really hope you both feel better very soon and you will feel empowered to follow your gut in all future medical decisions. Often times, Mama knows best.
