Baby jabs

[jockey]

Took DS who is 8 weeks old for his first set of injections today and ended upleaving in an ambulance.

After the second jab DS went very pale -the doc rushed in and gave him a shot of adrenaline and put him on oxygen -next thing I knew were in an ambulance on our way to hospital.

On arrival at hospital about 10 mins later DH had improved and was discharged after a few hours. The docs say it was not a reaction to the drugs but they think it was the shock of the injection. I have never heard of anything like this before. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[Cyrano]

Never heard of this. Hopefully you are both over the shock.
Wishing DS a speedy recovery

OMG how frightening for you - glad DS is ok

I have never heard of this before but I am sending you a big hug

I assume they'll research this more before giving him his next jab - let us know what happens.

OMG I bet you were so scared. I have never heard of this before but I do know that some babies hold their breath if they get a shock - it's a reflex action, not deliberate (which sounds like what the doc was talking about). Still, must have been very worrying - bet you're not looking forward to the next lot in 4 weeks

 

[mandymouse]

OMG you must have been so worried, I hope you are both fine now

Oh my gosh you must have been in shock yourself!! What an awful thing to go through. I only hope it doesn't happen again and that baby stays well,

Never heard of this before but then don't suppose they'd advertise it as a side -effect .It's not nice to take them anyway .Hope you are all recovered soon

 

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

I hope things go OK for you and the little 'un.
We agonised over this and in the end we went for individual jabs, much to our Doctors disgust.

Lord Jill I can imagine how scary that must have been. Hope you have both recovered from the ordeal now.

Thanks guys!! DS is great today it has not bothered him at all!!!

Obi Wan Kenobi-we are not having the MMR for DS we have also decided to have single jabs!!!!

DS is to have another set of jabs in 4 weeks-these are to be done at the hospital by a consultant and he will be kept on the ward for observation.

 

[KayleeUK]

I am glad they will keep an eye on him next time

 

[shellbell]

I'm glad your DS is ok now, you must of been so worried. Sending you both big

 

[Miffy2003]

Thank God he is all right Jill. I can imagine what a distressing time that was for you!

Obi Wan Kenobi-we are not having the MMR for DS we have also decided to have single jabs!!!!

We opted against the MMR for our two daughters, we got the seperates done by Direct Health 2000 at Rodney Street, Liverpool. £85 a shot.
