- Tough Choices when Preparing for a Baby
- ANTI-VACCINE!
- Hey Babe. Welcome home! How was work?
- It was okay! How was your day?
- John, guess what I read on Facebook about vaccinations?
- What, dear?
- There are a lot of toxic side effects that harm our baby.
- Hmmm? I don't like the sound of that.
- Don't you think we should talk to the doctor about all this?
- She is probably going to push vaccinations no matter what. I also read on a mom blog that the preservatives in the injections can cause cancer!
- Okay. You're right. I will keep reading on the internet and then we can ask Dr. Smith at our next appointment.
- Mary, I don't want to do anything that could hurt our baby, but don't you think she has our best interest at heart?
- THREE DAYS LATER...

- Hi there! We are here for our appointment with Dr. Smith!
- Okay! Go ahead and take a seat! She will be ready to see you shortly!
- Sure.
- Okay! John, why don't you stay here for now.
- Mary? You can come on back now.
- My name is Susan. I am the nurse that works with Dr. Smith.
- Let's start by getting your weight and I will check your vital signs.
- Okay!
- Great! Go ahead step down and I will have you sit on the table. Any pain or are you feeling any contractions?
- No pain. I have been feeling a little cramping every once and a while.
- That's great. Well, you're 39 wks and 3 days today so cramping is normal.Take some deep breaths for me!
- Everything looks and sounds great! Dr. Smith will be right in!
- Great! Thank you!
- Hi, Mary! Good to see you today. How are you feeling?
- Hi, Dr. Smith. I am okay, but I have a lot of concerns about the care of my baby when we are in the hospital.
- Ohhhh... like what?
- I have been reading so much this last week about the harm vaccines cause to babies!!!
- I feel this is something that is really important to you and I have some extra time today. Would you like to discuss your concerns in my office?
- Sure, but I don't feel like I want my baby to have any vaccines no matter what you say.
- You have a right to make decisions in your labor. I have a duty to do no harm so I would never encourage something that was unsafe. The safety of you and your baby are my top priority.
- Can I have my husband come in for this discussion?
- Thank you. Nice to meet you as well.
- Hello, John! It's nice to meet you. Your wife was asking about vaccines. It is important that you are here.
- Well, I heard the baby will get the Hepatitis B vaccine. Neither Mary or I have Hep B so we don't think it is necessary.
- So, how about we start with what you know about newborn medications?
- I read that the worst is the Vitamin K injection which can cause Leukemia because of the preservatives.
- Thank you. My wife and I have read a lot about harm vaccines cause, but what is the harm in not giving the newborn medications to our baby?
- I just don't want anything unnatural being put into my baby.
- The Vitamin K injection is preservative free so I do not believe that is credible information. About the Hepatitis B, here is a Vaccination information Sheet I would like you to read.
- Hmmm. I guess we have a lot to think about.
- Well, I believe the vitamin K and erythromycin are the most important. The first, helps baby clot her blood. The second, prevents infections that cause blindness.
- I think that's a great idea.
- I just don't want to feel pressured.
- Some expectant parents find that having a written birth plan is helpful. Maybe you two can continue the conversation when you make yours.
- Okay. I understand. Thank you.
- Alright. I just want to have this baby already.
- Just know that labor is unpredictable and a lot can change. We may have to have continued conversations about the best labor plan throughout your labor. I will see you at your next appointment or when you come to deliver your baby!
- Mary continues reading Anti-Vaccine blog posts...
- Dear, I don't think this is helpful. I think your mind is already made up to not vaccinate, so let's just write our birth plan and stop worrying.
- Okay. You're right.
- See. Don't you feel better? I think we're ready for baby now.
- Yes. We are ready.
- To be continued...
