[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also you may want to find a good therapist. It’s common for moms whose babies end up in the NICU to blame themselves even when there is no way they could have prevented it. In your case, we’ll, it would be your fault so you’ll need even more help dealing with feelings of guilt and remorse. [/quote]

OP here my first born had to have antibiotics and was in NICU a few days because of an infection we both had. I blame myself and I’m still dealing with those feeling of remorse and what I could have done differently at the end of the pregnancy. As you’ll see many studies have since come out that neonatal antibiotics use have all kind of issues including diminished growth and severe allergies which my son is dealing with still.

I’d deal with more feeling of remorse if I got the vaccine and my second was born with irreversible heart defect or kidney defect or possibly something else. Hence me trying to figure out an alternative path that protects him. [/quote]

That PP was being a jerk, OP. And I’m sorry your first had a rough start. So here is the thing. There is no evidence that the vaccine can cause any sort of defect or problem for babies (the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology just came out with a strong pro-vaccine statement for pregnant people) and there is a great deal of evidence that Covid can harm your baby. So in good faith, with true care, it seems like your risk perception is backward. For what it is worth if you can keep yourself cloistered for the next few months I think there is a good chance Delta will have burned through by December and your risk during delivery may be lower than it is now. May be.[/quote]
