i just don't want to do it.

[readytobedone]

i keep going around and round this vax thing, and no matter the facts i read, i just FEEL like i don't want to do it. not now and maybe not at all.

is just feeling like it's not what i want to do reason enough not to do it? i don't know how to explain to my DH that i just don't want to because it doesn't feel right. he's not that kind of person.

The first part of change is that feeling that something is not right. Said feeling is simply new knowledge impacting and tearing down previously held convictions.....intellectual growing pains if you will.

Articulate the exact nature of your gut into a coherent position that can be revised as you acquire new info. You are not born with the truth of a matter....you arrive at the truth via reason, knowledge, and time. One does not feel the truth rather one thinks the truth.

I think you need to organize.

On my "Starter Vax Research Post" link there is a list of questions. Get a binder, make a section for every vax, and answer each question for all the vaxes.

Your child is not defective. Vaccines will not "fix" or "improve" your child's health.

Even though I'm pretty convinced by evidence not to do it, it's my overwhelming feeling that makes the final decision for me, too. I think we should never underestimate our instincts.

I'm going to bump a thread from a while back on the importance of "mommy instinct."
