MMR vaccine

[Mumma21x]

How were you LO's after receiving there vaccines at 1 years old?👶🏻What happened after? Did they get any symptoms? Fever?🌡Did they have to go to A&E? Did they become any different? Just looking for personal experience you've gone through so I know what to expect. I do anyway but it's better hearing off other mums directly what they went through and how it was👩‍👧👩‍👦

4 children, bit of calpol for 2 of them, other than that no symptoms.
all fine.
no worries.
one child multiple allergies, but cleared ok for him, and considered safe for those with egg allergy. that child perfectly ok after MMR despite my concerns.

@canteatcustard thanks for sharing this! I'm hearing all sorts of high temperatures etc waking at night screaming?? Glad you had non of that and they were ok, maybe I am over thinking it to much😖

No issue at all with mine - never heard of anyone ending up in A+E

3 DC, no issues, given a sweetie for being brave.

No side effects at all,and didn't need calpol

No issues with DS, the only jab he ever had a fever with was the 8 week one.

Mine were both fine. Cant even remember after it. Remember getting jag as i felt sorry for them as they didnt understand what was happening but dont remember anything after so mild if any discomfort.

Mine were both fine. Ditto after the 3-year booster, thanks to some smarties (ds wanted another jab so he could have more!)

Friend's baby got measles at 11 months and was very poorly for six weeks - she made a full recovery, at least.

My ds was fine, no temperature or anything

Thanks for these everyone! And I've heard a few stories about a and e as there baby's temperature rocketed through the sky! But every child is different I suppose!

2 DC, one had mild fever, 37.5 ish, over in one night. The other was a touch grumpy for a day but both absolutely fine, no lasting effects of any kind, apart from being safe from 3 horrible illnesses.

We have autism in the family, and asked several friends who are Drs and they all, absolutely without hesitation, recommended getting it and all their many children have had it too, all without any negative impacts.

No issues here - I can’t even remember how DD was after having it, to be honest. It was a total non-event.

3DC, no issues. One a bit grizzly the few days after but nothing noticeable for others.

Mild fever a week later, a day off nursery a d all good. No other problems.

My dd has just had hers last week, she was a bit grumpy, slept a bit more than normal her little thighs were a bit tender too.
Nothing worrying just gave her some Calpol and she's been fine.
Got the bloody cold now tho with ds4, joys

My DC were totally fine but other than being a fact it has no bearing on how your child will react.

My nieces both ended up in A&E and neither had their boosters BUT this is extremely rare. I suspect an underlying condition/cause. My DC were absolutely fine but had them later on the GP's recommendation (family issues with vaccine reactions). Both had single measles vax to tide them over.

No issues here either. Mumps is going round some universities at the moment, probably due to idiot parents not vaccinating their children 17/18 years ago.

DS did get a temperature, that Calpol did very little for, however he then started being sick, and although we ended up in hospital due to dehydration, it was generally agreed that it was a nasty virus that was doing the rounds that just coincided.

Other than slightly clingy, all my friends babies were fine. X

Does every baby have to have a booster after mmr? Is it another dosage or something?

dd2 didn't have mmr vaccine (not available then) & ditto her first cousin they have asd! younger dc did have vaccine didn't have problems slight temp - asd is NOT caused by mmr (clue - maybe hereditary tendency - journal articles from peer reviewed journals re twin studies etc suggest this!) what people don't get is that measles is a potential serious condition & can cause lifetime side effects - hearing loss, blindness, serious brain damage, and a form of meningitis -once the child develops measles there is no medication that can really alleviate the disease & its side effects - Roald Dahl's daughter dies from measles meningitis. Children die from it the only reason (so far) that there are not many deaths or side effects is luck & other children being inoculated. Mumps for instance, causes (frequently in men & boys) infertility & pancreatitis, German Measles (rubella) causes Thalidomide type affects on foetuses & was one of the main causes of profound deafness (please note the terminology because of the severity of affect) I wish people would recognise the risk of NOT having their most precious child vaccinated.

2 MMR vaccines are required to get full protection -usually before they start school. There is an outbreak of Mumps in the 2 Nottingham Unis at the moment . Probably due to the MMR scares about 20 years ago and the use of the imported single dose vaccines- there was a question about the efficacy of the imported Mumps vaccine at the time if I remember correctly ( and people were paying a fortune for it)

Please don't listen to the scare stories OP, I had a colleague whose son died of measles, and Rubella can can devestating effects if a pregnant woman gets it.

Absolutely fine no problems, and I don’t know anyone who has had problems with it.

Even people who say they notice fever/temps/illness I often question how they know it was the jab and not a normal bug they picked up or teething etc.

Think we had a raised temp for a night about a week after. Gave calpol, no probs. I also had the jab a couple of yrs ago as was found to be rubella non-immune during pregnancy and didn't feel unwell at all

My little one unfortunately ended up in hospital, temp shot up which resulted in a feberal convulsion despite us giving regular calpol after.

We were told it is very rare. And since she has had two more convulsions due to rocketing temps due to viral infections.

Although hard to witness and very scary at the time I do not blame the vaccine. Hoping she put grows them soon.

Two boys with severe egg allergies, done under medical supervision both fine though my most reactive son could not have it till his IgE results had dropped enough [age5] Eldest daughter fine just a bit grizzly and needed some calpol on the day.

My youngest can NOT have the MMR due to medical advice [severe IUGR, severe failure to thrive and benign bone tumors with lost of surgery.] So far she has had measles and was not at all well. She nearly killed her dad when her frankly loopy immune system souped it into an atypical heamoragic varient and she gave it him. He had measles as a kid. He spent weeks in Negative pressure isolation. It damaged his sight and left him with a lot of physical scars from bleeds.
Having seen an adult so ill from 'just measles' I would not wish that on anyone's little kid.
From experience the MMR is far, far kinder on kids than the illnesses it prevents.
