Yay to you two again Mayhem!

In other news, my little man has the Chicken Pox. Ho hum.

Do they not routinely vaccinate children for that in the UK?

Oh no, poor little fella! :(

Get well soon Little Pucker!

Nope, not Chicken Pox.

Every other imaginable "childhood" disease, yes.

My poor little man is absolutely covered in itchy blisters now. It's so frustrating to see him suffering but I think the worst is probably over now - he's had no new spots today, so hopefully he'll be well again by next week. Thankfully, getting it early means it's usually quite short lived.

awww. poor little prince. hope he feels better soon!

I had the Chicken Pox when I was about 10 and VERY generously shared with all 3 of my siblings. Thankfully, my son's not had it--he was vaccinated for it and baby girl will be too...it's part of our routine shots here now.

hey everyone,
I have finally found this thread again..
Things are going great on this end, I am now 23 weeks along and have found out the sex as you know all tests results have been clear of anything wrong.

SD - they are talking about making the vaccination routine here too, but since there is quite a lot of controversy about the effectiveness and safety of various different routine vaccinations that are given in the UK, there is quite a lot of opposition to it. According to my Mum, there is evidence to support the fact that catching chicken pox as a child reduces the chances of contracting leukaemia, so if that's true, I'd rather he had chicken pox!

I am considering not giving him the 3 in 1 Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccination too - instead I may pay privately for him to have the Measles jab and not bother with the other two. Apparently in most cases, they are only effective for the first few years, so in fact make it more likely that if a child is going to get it, they're more likely to get it in their teens (far more dangerous for boys in the case of mumps, as it can make them infertile, and for girls in the case of Rubella as it can cause Rubella syndrome in babies if caught when pregnant). I am still torn about this decision. I want to do what is actually best for my son, not what everyone else tells me is best for him, which means trying to decide what research and which doctors I believe.

In the US college students must show a booster for Measles or a resistance in order to register for college. I know I had to get lab work at 30 years old to prove I did not need a shot.
