[quote=Anonymous]I realize this is a 3 year old question but I have to respond, my 3month old contracted pertussis a week before her vacc. And was hospitalized for a week, I literally watched her sleep everytime she slept for 3 Weeks. Their little lungs are so young its hard for them to catch their breathe, babies are DYING from this everywhere!! Unfortunately I and her caregivers (MIL, hubb) were not vaccinated b/c we didn't know to be, fortunately I have a very proactive pedi that immediately admitted her to hospital, the hospital d/c us after one day! But Dr immediately admitted us to another till she was stable. The problem is it can be random when they cough and start out like a regular cough so unless the Dr happens to hear their cough they wont know. YouTube pertussis babies and you'll see many have died from this, mine would cough so hard she would turn purple. I cannot stress enough the grave  seriousness of this epidemic. I wish I had taken more care, not let anyone near her who had been sick, kept her @ home for first 6 Weeks ect as a new mom I was ignorant. Get vaccinated and take control over your babies health if ppl wont get vax keep them far far away[/quote]
