Anti vax?

Question

First time mom and I want to be anti vax for baby anyone here in the US and anti vax how was your hospital experience and what can I do to stand my ground

Accepted Answer

You can get your kid vaccinated and that’d be great.

Answer

Why in the hell would you not vaccinate your child? Good luck finding a daycare that’s reputable that will accept them. Most daycares require vaccinations. Unless you plan to live in a bubble and keep your child attached to their umbilical cord till you die, good luck. 👌

Answer

No hospital can force you to do anything, though they may annoy the crap out of you and try to scare you.
The only vaccines given at birth would be Vitamin K and Hep B. If you’ve done your research and do not want them administered, just say no and keep baby in your sight at all times. 
There are much better groups on Facebook that are pro-choice rather than getting attacked here for wanting to make an informed decision. And always keep in mind that sometimes the rudest comments here come from people who have done zero research. 
Best of luck to you 🤗

Answer

My mom had me at home with a midwife and opted against vaccinating me due to a the months of research she had done and the fact that my father had a severe reaction to a vaccine and nearly died when he was a child.
In the hospital you’re likely going to have a lot of pressure to vaccinate, you’re going to have doctors and nurses talking down to you and you’re more than likely going to feel like they will not take you seriously.
Stand your ground and read EVERY slip of paper they push at you to sign. Do not sign anything you are uncomfortable with, period. They cannot turn you away for not signing something or for declining vaccines.
My mother’s fb friend recently shared a story where she ended up telling her doctor to leave while she was in the process of pushing because he was ignoring her requests, and she and her husband delivered her baby themselves.

Answer

I am avoiding hospitals and doctors all together. My midwife is anti-vaxx and we are doing a home birth to stay away from all that. Hopefully you can find a family practitioner that's okay with your choice.

Answer

Just stand your ground. You are your child's advocate. In my experience, the doctor's appointments are worse than than the hospital when it comes to the pressure. Bring along some of your research if you want! Good luck, and remember, you are the mom!

Answer

My hospital only encouraged the vitamin k shot, no vaccines. First round of vaccines usually isn't until 2 months. They offered Hep b but said if I didn't want to do it, follow up with pediatrician. Instead of hospital, you'll need to find a pediatrician who will be okay with you not wanting to vaccinate. Many pediatricians require it.

Answer

My sister didn't have either of kids vaccinated and all she had to do was tell them no about vaccines and they didn't get any. I'm probably going to do the same thing

Answer

I didn't get my daughter vaccinated. I just told them I didn't want the hep b shot at the hospital and then I have a family doctor we go to that is on board.

Answer

So you want to bring polio, pertussis tetanus and a bunch of other easily preventable diseases to the table. Keep your kid out of public schools please. Actually move to the middle of nowhere and stay on your lot and never leave that’d be great
