How do I start this conversation with my SO?

Question

I have been sceptical about vaccines for a very long time since seeing first hand the risk that you take when giving them to your child. I am 11 weeks pregnant and I don't want to vaccinate my baby. My SO was vaccinated but my mother didn't vaccinate me on schedule and I didn't receive all of them either. How do I bring this up as lightly as possible? I don't want to start an argument but we haven't touched this topic yet and I'm nervous... Any advice? I'm currently watching the truth about vaccines on YouTube and there's so much information, I'm thinking maybe we watch it together and let him make it his idea??

Answer

Yah try to watch it together when i first brought it up to my husband he’s like no the baby is getting vaccinated. then I’ve told him stories through the weeks and such. Now we agree and r not vaccinating or at-least going to delay them.

Answer

Be strong in your beliefs and don't over explain.  Be informed and be confident that you are.  Most dr.s are blinded to the truth about vaccines.  Wait for your Dr. to ask, you don't need to volunteer.  I switched pediatricians because they wouldn't accept my son cause I was not going to vaccinate him.

Answer

.... side note; fear is a powerful weapon.  When you've been told all your life that the only way to be protected from these diseases is by vaccinating,  well,  the sheep line up! Take control and be informed.  These diseases are not bad and there are plenty of other way to protect yourself.

Answer

So he came home while I was watching the last half of episode 2 and I asked him what he thought. He said "I really don't care, I don't want our baby to die from these diseases but do what you want to do." I feel like he should care more about this.

Answer

it's a journey. he may not care now but the more information he heard, he may begin to care.

Answer

My hubby was the same way, but as far as the kids go I make most of the decisions and he lets me. Our oldest is 7 now and we're pregnant with our 3rd and we have yet to get vaccines. He use to question me sometimes but I believe he's done some research on his own because he makes comments now about the people who vaccinate their kids. He sees how healthy our kids are because they never get sick but maybe a cold once a year. while everyone we know kids are sick constantly. Our kids can even come in contact with sick people and they'll be fine. So do want you know is best and he will follow suit.
