8 week jabs
Hi everyone, my DS is 9 weeks 3 days and has got his first immunisations on Thursday. I am absolutely terrified! I want him to have them but I'm so scared that he will have an awful reaction. I stupidly googled and found horror stories of babies going blind or being brain damaged and it has left me really scared. I just don't know what to expect. He is such a good baby- never cries unless hungry and I just can't imagine him being unwell! Really dreading it.
Sorry for the moan!

My little boy had his first set of jabs last week and I'll admit I was dreading it! I was a nervous wreck on the morning and I'm so glad I had arranged for my mum to come for support as hubby was working. My mum held him while he had the jabs while I stood in the corner holding back tears! Lol! My little man did cry more so after the second one. He was really whingy afterwards not his usual smiley self. So I gave him 2.5mls of calpol which the doc had prescribed. He had a good nap and was more or less fine. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I'm glad I had my mum there to hold him while it was done, I couldn't have done it. I do plan to have her or hubby there for his next lot too. I'm just a big whimp!! Lol! My little man was fine though. Xx
Hope they go well

Megan hasnt had her1st jabs yet despite approaching 12 weeks - they are next week (Dont get me started on my crap gp and hv) so she is having to have 3 the first time which im not looking forward too...
some babies have a slight reaction - temperature, grouchiness etc and it usually resolves in the first 24-48hours but some babies are not phased by it in the slightest..
i have vaccinated thousands of times and i have honestly never come across a severe reaction (even with the more 'controversial' ones like mmr) but despie this i am still dreading Megan having them as its different as she is mine and not someone elses and i know it wont be nice for her and i just want her to be ok - also i dont have alot of faith in my hv so will be questioning everything they do and watching very closely...god help them lol! as long as you have a decent hv and trust their practive your little man will be fine just have some calpol in for afterwards just incase he does spike a temperature!!
