EDITED UPDATED MTHFR mutation? Vaccines? What the hell?!
Update/edit*** first of all, thank you ladies for all the helpful stories and humor lol. Just needed some mind easers! It seems some of you thought I wasn’t going to vaccinate our son when I thought I made it clear that we were regardless...I just made this post for insight, experience and thoughts! Thank you guys!
So let me start off by saying I’m complete pro vaccination, always have been and it’s never really occurred to me not to be. Just second nature to me to vaccinate your kids lol. I did research both sides, books, movies, studies, you name it when I was pregnant even though our minds have both been made up for a long time.
I have an aunt who has a very low functioning Autistic son and she is apart of the anti-vaxx movements, goes on busses and does interviews for them and everything. I purposely unfollowed her posts on Facebook because it was EVERYDAY bs she and all her antivaxx buddies were tying to vaccinations and autism or injury.
There’s the background on her...that way y’all can better understand her pushiness I’m about to show you and hopefully my anxieties 😅
My husband and I welcomed our beautiful son on August 5th and he was a month exactly premature. We get our two months shots on October 5th and now I’m all bent out of shape because my aunt messages me out of absolutely nowhere talking about how our son, Jace has the MTHFR marker on his head which would be his stork bite and she says vaccinations are even more dangerous because of this and to basically reconsider...This got me worried enough and then I started googling (not smart but I was freaked out) and apparently my son has a lot of other markers such as him being premature, he has dimples on both his face and he has a sacral dimple and his stork bite. My husband nor I were ever tested for this mutation or whatever and now she’s got me thinking the absolute worst. I included screenshots of the conversation for you guys to get a glimpse at but my goodness, seriously?! I don’t want to get him tested for the gene because for one, I feel like it’s just unnecessary and I don’t even know if our hospital offers it because we go on base here...I’m just a mess. Thoughts appreciated!
*we are considering a delayed schedule because of how many they give at one time, just not comfortable with that.




Here’s our son for some smiles while y’all think 😅 I hope I didn’t get anyone too heated, I know this is super controversial.
