Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-having-my-first-irrational-freakout-about-los-health#post-1459512 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 21:46:23 +0000 Corduroy 1459512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. I talked to my SIL and my parents and they all felt we did the right thing by getting the vaccine. They pointed out that I'm going to be hyper vigilant and probably notice any symptoms super early. Now for the wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-having-my-first-irrational-freakout-about-los-health#post-1459232 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:21:02 +0000 Ginabean3 1459232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, distract yourself! Your LO will be fine. My LO just had her 12 month shots and the ped was actually telling me that measles cases are going up....big time. He said in our area, at the end of last year there were 5 kids and at the end of Jan there were like 17.....scary very scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-having-my-first-irrational-freakout-about-los-health#post-1459230 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:20:41 +0000 autumnlove 1459230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually talk to my husband who is my voice of reason! I'm sure your LO will be ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-having-my-first-irrational-freakout-about-los-health#post-1459225 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:19:06 +0000 cmomma17 1459225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Distraction! Find something else to get absorbed in - a book, movie, family activity, bake something, call a friend and talk about something else, etc.</p> <p>(((Hugs))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-having-my-first-irrational-freakout-about-los-health#post-1459223 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:16:14 +0000 Corduroy 1459223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO got her 12 month shots today and I can't stop worrying about her. My nephew got really sick after his 12 month shots and was hospitalized for 5 days. I've talked to two doctors about it and they both told me there was no reason to worry about LO. The chance of having the reaction to MMR is one in 40,000. But my nephew was the one in 40,000! I am so worried LO is going to be another because of some unknown genetic predisposition.</p> <p>We decided not to delay or skip the vaccine since there's a case of measles in the area. As worried as I am about potential reactions I can't ignore the risk of a real communicable disease blocks from my office.</p> <p>I don't usually worry like this. What do you do to calm yourself down when logic isn't working? </p>
