mommymeg`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll ATTN: All moms with young children or people with good advice....Are you going to give your kids the flu shot? The reason I ask is that the Flu shot is the only vaccine left that uses mercury as a preservative or whatever...I`m not so much worried about my 3.5 year old but I really do not want to give this to my 16 month old son, what are you ladies doing? My son stays home with me and we are not usually involved with large groups of children or adults at one time...please comment.

My daughter is 4 years old and she has had one every year since she was born.She has never had the flu.She has already had one this year because she can not visit me in the hospital without having had one.She has never had any reaction to the shot either.

I got a flu shot for me (30 weeks prego), for my two year old boy, and my 4 year old boy gets his on Friday! I don`t believe it will cause any harm. It has it`s pros and cons but I believe in getting it just to feel more prepared.

I got mine for free since I am in my 3rd trimester,they said if my daughter was between 6months and 2yrs she would get it for free as well,since she is 2 1/2 and my son is 9 I thought I would have to pay for theirs,but my dr`s office said since I am pregnant and they live in my house they gave it to them for free,as well as my hubby.

My son who is 14 months the dr did not advise to get one so I didn`t ask for one. My other sons who are 7 & 5 are not getting them either. However my husbands job gave them free to employees, smart huh? So they cant get sick and miss work. LOL!

it`s not proven to prevent the flu, so why bother? i have the same concerns as you, with the mercury, and i believe ANY isn`t good unless it`s a necessity. your body is built to heal itself, in most cases, so let it do it`s job.

  1. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  2. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  3. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  4. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  5. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  6. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  7. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  8. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  9. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  10. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
