Hi, I am a new member and live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I have four children (son - 14 , 3 daughters 10, 5 & 3) and had one miscarriage. I am also Rh- and have had the RHO-gam injections for each of my pregnancies and after my miscarriage. My children have all developed normally and do not have any side effects from the RHO-gam (that I know of). I breastfed each of them for 1 year or longer. My son is the only one that has been diagnosed with behaviour problems which we now believe he has been misdiagnosed since my 10 year old daughter has recently been identified as being highly gifted. We are in the process of having him re-tested privately. My 5 year old daughter is reading at grade 2 level. I was browsing the internet late last night and came across this thread and was really shocked to read all these posts about negative effects you have experienced with receiving the RHO-gam shots. I never even thought twice about having the shot. I was 17 when I miscarried and the doctor told me that it was extremely important that I get the shot or else any future children I had could be at risk and I just did what I was told. After that I just automatically assumed that I was supposed to take it. The midwife would just give me an information sheet about the risks to the baby if the shot was not taken and I just went along with it never questioning anything. I guess I am one of the lucky ones that nothing happened to my kids. I came across another website yesterday which was going into detail about how women whose blood screens were not showing that they were protected against rubella even though the women were in fact immunized were given second does of the shot during pregnancy and if I recall correctly some were given the shot after birth and breastfed their children. Their children were developing normally until they were given the 15 month MMR and shortly after receiving the shot they suddenly became autistic. I was tested for immunity against rubella and was thankfully not required to get re-immunized. I now believe that no woman should receive any vaccine during pregnancy that is going to potentially harm their child. During my first pregnancy with my son I was given pennicillin for a bladder infection. I was hesitant in taking it even though my OB assured me my child would be fine. It turns out that my son was sensitized and is now highly allergic to pennicilin. No one else in my family nor my other children have this allergy. I truly think we should go with our gut instincts when it comes to our children ... cause afterall a mother does know best.
