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?

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.
