i personally think it is way too new and there is no way to confirm what if any the lasting affects are

The regular flu kills more people annually than the H1N1 virus has. Also, my doc office told me that the vaccine DOES contain Thimerisol (sp), for those of you that are vaccinating against it but have concerns about the mercury. I won`t be vaccinating against it, not because of the preservative, but because it`s a new vaccine.

It`s pretty bad here. There are a ton who are really sick. I signed the papers for the school to give them the shot/spray. (I didn`t know that the school was going to do this. I had already made the decision to get them done at the dr. office.)

Nope. My husband and I agreed that we wouldn`t give our LO any flu shot, h1n1 or regular. We didn`t get them either. The few years that I did get flu shots were horrible for me. I had the flu more than 5 times every year. Without getting it, I MAYBE get the flu once. Same thing with my husband. That doesn`t give me a whole lot of faith in the vaccine.

I have a 12 month old and am currently 7 weeks pregnant. We`re not getting any flu shots, regular or swine. I honestly don`t know if the vaccine is safe or not but that`s just my personal decision. I didn`t grow up getting flu shots and to me they are unnecessary and that`s just my opinion.

My whole family except for my newborn has been vaccinated. We`ve had no problems. I definitely feel that it`s safe and a good idea to get one!

Hey there. I just got all three of my kids vaccinated the other day. They got their regular seasonal and the H1N1 shots the same day. They haven`t shown any of the commom side effects either...low grade temp, runny nose...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1z7KSEnyxw I voted no. The sypmtoms are same as the usual flu, and if you go to the hospital they will tell you it`s swine with no testing. There is no way to tell who is actually getting it, they are diagnosing everything to put the numbers up. The vaccine is much more dangerous, with terrible risks, than the actual flu, especially for children and pregnant women.

Yes i believe it is safe. However, i am not getting myself or my child vaccinated b/c i don`t feel that it is anymore harmful then any other flu at any other time and i got the flu shot a couple times in my life and get just as sick just as often if i get it or not. I don`t feel the need to pump extra chemicals into my body or my childrens when i don`t think they do anything to help. Oh and i do vaccinate on a `normal` doc recommended schedule.

I am 22 weeks pregnant and got vaccinated 5 days ago without any complications. My DH and DD did not get the shot though, as I work on a medical floor and have much more risk with being pregnant.

  1. 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.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. 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!
  4. 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?
  5. 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)
  6. 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!!
  7. 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!! :)
  8. 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!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
