shots!

[tiffffxox]

I'm 32 weeks and 3 days. I have got my flu and tdap(whooping cough or w e)  shots.  My boyfriend and I were both told we have to get and as of now we are staying at his parents (which includes:his mom, dad, sister and grandmother.) until we get our own place. The doctor said everyone in the house should get the tdap also.. but for some reason they are being so immature about going down the street to walgreens and getting them even tho its for the baby. How big of a deal is it if they don't because I feel like they won't..help

I got my shot awhile ago and as well as my boyfriend. My sister is a nurse and she alsi was stressing that we all should get it cause we will all be around the baby. And his mom wants to be the one who watvhes the baby while I finish college! Haha! Jokes. On top of it theu aren't the cleanest people but our side of the house is spotless:) lol anyways I keep saying how theu should go get it and they keep saying they will. And then when mu boufrienr says something they yell

I got it as did my mom, my dad will be getting one too as he lives here, my doctor said its best to have everyone in the house get it.

I didn't get the flu shot cause there is really no point in it but I did get the tdap. Whooping cough has made a huge cone back and it is important that you get the shot. Your baby can't get it until 2 or 3 mths old.  If your baby gets the whooping cough before they get the vax there is a high chance of death in the infant.  I was told that anyone that was going to be aroubd the baby on a regular basis needed to get it to protect the baby.

I didn't gwt any shots with my previous kids but they gave the shot with this one I was like whattt I've never had shots before and they said its going around right now but they didn't say my hubby or any family member needs to get it too.

Oh haha how could I forget his mom even lied to us and said his grandma got it! If anyone needs it, its her she's old always sick and just very un healthy

I'm in michigan, I'm not even to sure. And I know right they r just so lazyy!

Depends on where your from. Whooping cough is going around in Texas. The way I see it is is it really worth the risk of not getting it. It's just a friggin shot.

Well the hospital I'm going to its a rule the mother and whom ever is going to be in the delivery room has to have it. But thanks kind of a load off

I don't think it's much of a big deal. I didn't even get the shot when I had my daughter, and I had her the endings of November. No one else in the house did either and she never got sick. I'm sure your baby will be fine.

They don't have to get it.. most dr say everyone needs to get it but they just pressure u into it..
