Feelings of guilt

[caseysmom]

Me and hubby argued about that subject, had girls so never got too heated but I was against he was for. It is a personal decision and he is your son, I don't think its wrong to do just unnecessary.

{{{{{hugs}}}}} I thought they gave wee ones at least a local anesthetic!

My GP, Stephanie (she is so cool) spent years giving babies their first shots and having the MOMS cry.

She has had a couple of lovely children in the past several years, and now TOTALLY understands! Seems like part of being a mom is you hurt even worse than your baby!


{{{{hugs}}}} It's ok, Nicole.

I thought this was something that was done within hours of birth. Guess I was wrong.

Yes, I used to watch my niece when she was a baby and I had to take her to get shots. I cried so hard when they took her temp....not orally. Because she was screaming!!! It's difficult, but they do not remember it when they get older.

I hated it, and was so hesitant in having it done. I wouldn't do it again, if I could change things and go back.

I hated it

hated it also when I forced myself to listen alone at the door to the cry of my last son - only so he would not feel different from his brother

would never do it again for any reason or condone if asked

i judge not for name of God

I don't think you are wrong because I remember it that way too. Maybe
it's different with each Dr. I've only heard health reasons for having it done.
