Hi everyone
Not wanting to start a debate as there are plenty of those threads already!
For personal reasons I will not be getting either jab. I reacted to several jabs as a child and ended up in hospital, the doctor at the time told my mum that my body just doesn't agree with them and goes into shut down mode and that I should avoid them. 'My siblings all had them and are fine.
For this reason I will be declining the jabs during pregnancy. My child will be getting all routine jabs when born, but I cannot have any when pregnant.
For those who didn't get the jabs when pregnant:
Did you do anything differently for the first 8 weeks after birth before first sets of jabs? I.e keep child out of busy places?
Did you do anything extra to avoid colds/flu over winter?
How did you midwife react when you declined the jabs?
Thank you
