Because of your story I asked her to talk to her OBGYN regarding the pertussis vaccine. No one should have to go through heartbreak of losing a child. Thank you for sharing your story, Natalie. If it were not for you I would not have thought twice about a Dtap booster for me or my pregnant friend. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.Yvettehttp://www.yvetteshomesweethome.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-66487250899474856862010-06-21T06:36:56.324-10:002010-06-21T06:36:56.324-10:00After reading your blog, I went and got ALL of my ...After reading your blog, I went and got ALL of my vaccines.

I mean, I'm sure it brings up feelings that aren't too comfortable, and being bombarded is like a huge invasion of your privacy. I think sometimes people think that because you express your feelings so openly, that they can say whatever they want because it's an open "discussion" without any regard or thought about time and place, or your feelings for that matter. <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that you are having this problem, but I do admire your courage. You are a good person. You should never feel bad for taking care of yourself and those whom you love. You're a rad girl, but your fly is down. :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926465250260408238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-69441691497312919752010-06-08T21:49:57.820-10:002010-06-08T21:49:57.820-10:00well done.well done.Ale, Chuck, Sebastian & Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464305732753306026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-18405234151461142052010-06-08T11:25:52.816-10:002010-06-08T11:25:52.816-10:00Well said my friend across the miles who knows the...Well said my friend across the miles who knows the shoes I've worn.

Many postpartum even before they head home from the hospital with their newborn! <br /><br />Because the vaccine is relatively new, many doctors and nurses aren't well educated on the vaccine and where it is contraindicated and where it is not. <br /><br />Zero pressure on my end,just wanted to make you aware. <br /><br />THANK YOU for honoring our family by doing this. It is so remarkably important. <br /><br />All my love,<br /><br />NatalieNatalie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03306521406053336039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-13820437460710659002010-06-08T06:42:43.714-10:002010-06-08T06:42:43.714-10:00I went to the doc to get my adult pertussis vaccin...I went to the doc to get my adult pertussis vaccination. They said they couldn't give it to me because I was nursing. When I got out to the car, I teared up.
