I'm here too. You can read our story in my siggy.

Life should not be lived w/regrets, however. This taught me a lot and has enabled me to reach and and help (and educate) others.

If I could do it over again though, I'd never had had dds vaxed for anything. Ever.

Oh yes, I totally regret vaxing my first. She was born in '98 when there was still a ton(so to speak) of mercury in the shots. I was completely clueless and just believed what the doctors and health nurses said. She had a bad reaction at 6mos and now has learning difficulties. My second is completely vax free and is the healthiest of the family. When she gets sick, she always gets it much milder then the rest of us, and always gets over it the soonest. I contribute that to an intact immune system. With my first my gut said no but I believed what I was told but with my second I listened and the difference is like night and day.

My oldest was vaxed for 4 sets of shots, and I regret it still. He has little lasting effects, but at the time I really think we would have lost him had we continued to vax. I have 3 other kids- all never vaxed and I don't regret that at all!

I never knew that vax was a CHOICE- I was always told that it was not something that you questioned. I only found out through Mothering, and I honestly thing Mothering helped save my son from being lost....

I can't say I regret much in life, learn and live and all that, but I deeply regret fully vaxing DD to about 7, and DS1 to about 5. DS has developmental disabilities that I believe are entwined with the vaccines. Thankfully, they are no longer vaccinated and DS's 2 and 3 are not vaxed at all.

I've vaxed DS since he was born and regret it. His last dr's appt he has had no vaxes. Our new dr (who practices holistic medicine) is very supportive, but he does need to go in soon to get one last shot from a set he has had. If he does not get it soon, he'll need to get the whole set over again. Thankfully he's never gotten any flu shots!

mommy2anangel-

vaccines aren't like antibiotics. You don't have to finish a series if you don't want to. And there's nothing stating you'll have to get the entire series over if you decide to stop vaccinations. There are MANY of us on here with partially vaxxed children, most of us stopped in the middle of a series.

Whoever gave you that information is incorrect. You may stop vaxxing AT ANY TIME.

He does NOT need to get ANY shots (esp. all over again)...

Me

Fully vaxed DD1 up to kindy boosters. DD2 vaxed until 15 months. DD3 is totally unvaxed. I am forever thankful that my two older girls appear to have very little (dd2) to no (dd1) damage from my poor choices.

Everyone around me I knew vaxed, and like many others I thought that was just what was done. I never questioned it b/c I had no reason to. I trusted people.

I think that is why mothering is good...we are not only a support network for one another, but the more moms that find other moms who question the way things are and stand up for what they believe is right is empowering to other moms. If I didn't meet moms who breastfed, didn't vax, cloth diapered...etc...I'm not sure I would have done/not done any of those things. It helps to actually know someone to get you thinking about why, KWIM?

OMG!!! No. NO. NOOOOO!

Even the vax companies say that immunity would/should have been conferred in a majority of the population with the first shot and the second should have caught the rest. The third (or fourth or whatever) is just to catch even more

They will also recommend boosters after this "set" years down the road. That's how they rake in the money and how they attempt to put the blame on YOU, the mother, when the vax doesn't work. If it wasn't the WHOLE SET and FULLY VAXED then it was not getting the proper BOOSTER in the PROPER TIME.

It's a never ending cycle and just as other posters said, it's NOT antibiotics. Read THEIR inserts and the CDC Pink Pages to understand (if you dare) how this works.

Please stop mama. You don't wanna do it so DON'T!

I deeply regret vaxing my eldest DD. But I did what I thought was best at the time.

: I really wasn't in a place in my life when I would have been open to not vaxing. I had to have a major paradigm shift first, that of believing that the body is JUST FINE without ANY sort of modification. DS was vaxed through 18 months, and DD through 6 months. And now I'll never know if DS's speech delay and other issues are at all related. And why why why did I get DD's 6 month shots after she screamed for days with her 4 month shots? I'd already begun to question... It's done, and it won't be done again under my watch.

My boy was vaccinated up til he was one yrs old . I was asking questions when he was going to get his 2 wk shots when he was going to get on the plane it was not the right vaccine webpage if I would have seen the vaccine webpage with all the posions in it definetly would have scared me of doing that and if my ex said he was unvaxed but he didn't til it was done and i was complaining how pushy my mom was on this
