I am always nervous when we go into the clinic because I have elected not to give Scarlett her shots yet (possibly never). This is such a touchy subject for moms and so far I am not sure that the risk of the actual illness is worth the risk of the side effects. I have no idea what to do. My mom told me that when I got my shots as a 4 year old she noticed that my behavior changed drastically. My best friend had her daughter in the hospital 3 times in a month with a high fever after her 1 year shots. I get so nervous because Scarlett is SO SMALL. She is in the 24th% for her weight and height. My doctor is wonderful and I love her but she is very pushy about getting her vaccinated. Yesterday she tried to bribe me into getting her vaccinated by promising to pierce her ears after her first set of shots. IDK what to do.
In my confused and terrified state, I have decided to read 2 books....
