A woman becomes pregnant.

Â
If the doctor has a vacation scheduled during the week of her presumed delivery date, she is pressured to induce.
Â
If she doesn’t dilate as expected after being induced, she is pressured and sometimes forced to deliver via C-section.
Â
She is drugged and exhausted and handed a clipboard with papers to “initial here and sign here.”
Â
Her baby is injected with synthetic vitamin k at hundreds or thousands of times the rate normal for a newborn, and with either 9 mg benzyl alcohol or 10.5 mg Polysorbate 80, both of which are toxic, within minutes of delivery.
Â

Â

Â
Doctor tells mom: “Don’t worry so much. This is normal. You’re just a new, nervous mother.”
Â
Doctor goes back to his/her vacation.
Â
Mother has just begun the lifelong and relentless reality of dealing with the outcome of “the advances modern medicine.”
Â
Having a baby should be a joy-filled experience. It should not be one in which a new mother/mother-to-be is bombarded with potentially life altering decisions to make when she is most vulnerable to abusive tactics.
Â
The best way to avoid this situation is to become educated in advance, so you know how to handle these situations before they arise.
Â
This following article is meant to guide pregnant women through the process of learning about vaccines given in pregnancy and early childhood. There is information about the flu shot, Tdap, COVID shots, and RSV shots. There is information about RhoGAM. There is information about Vitamin K and Hepatitis B shots, and information about vaccines on the childhood schedule.
Â
Â
If you are pregnant, PLEASE spend at least as much time researching vaccines as you spend researching car seats or cribs. The ramifications of making uninformed decisions can last a lifetime.
