Her rash has got worse. Googling images (I know you shouldn't), it looks very like german measles! Is it possible to get german measles after/because of the MMR? I'm going to take her to the Dr. tomorrow. She's had some calpol for her temp but she's just very 'not happy'.
(and i've done the glass test - it disappears with pressure).

No vaccine is 100% effective so there are always going to be some people who aren't immune even after being vaccinated. (Alice was vaccinated against Whooping Cough and still has it.) I know the MMR is only 60% for mumps after one vaccination but don't know rubella. (Mumps is the lowest.)

I'm O'neg too, when I had J & L you only had to have the anti'D after the birth, if the baby was Pos. I got away with it with J because he's neg like me.
With V, they'd changed procedures and I got bl00dy needles all the time!

You can still choose to only have it after the birth and only if the baby is positive. (Not saying you should - just that you do have the choice.)

Absolutely shocking night here, BUT I actually fully anticipated it because we were out yesterday so he didn't get a proper afternoon nap at all, so all night he practically didn't sleep for being so overtired . But at least this time I have a reason for it, so I shall not dwell and just try and make today better so tonight will be!

Mmmmm, starving for breakfast but not inspired by porridge .

Awww sorry you had a bad night too Aless. I was starving too and I couldn't wait until David had finished his breakfast so I had a Turkish Delight

Morning

Happy Birthday Dylan.

Hope V gets sorted out at the doctors.

Sorry you had a bad night Aless. Was up here as Charlotte fell out of bed and took ages to settle afterwards.

Anti-D - I'm O-neg and when I had the boys, I just got a big needle in my bum muscle soon after birth. It really hurt and I couldn't sit on that cheek for the rest of the day With Charlotte I had injections in my arm and after birth, and they were not too bad. I was also told if you have something like a bad fall or a car accident, you need anti-D in case any blood has transferred.

Got some jobs to do this morning. Josh has to stay off school as they don't allow them back for 48 hours if they have been sick in school, but he seems fine now. James seems ok, and is desperate to go in as they're all going to the secondary school for the day today.

Have a good day all xx

When V had the MMR, I asked the Dr. because L has only ever had one dose.
The Drs. figures were 95-97% of people are protected after one dose of the MMR vaccine. The second dose is given to catch those 3-5%.


ETA: I managed to get an appointment for my bumpy, rashy, grumpy baby at 9.30.

Happy 1st Birthday Dylan!! :bdaycake:

And so pleased you don't need to go for scan. xx

Hope Vi gets on ok at the docs. Looks like a nasty rash. If is is measles symptoms caused by MMR, does that mean it won't last long and won't be full blown measles?

I had a decent sleep last night. Holly slept from 8.45pm - 6.30am (longest she has gone in AGES!!), then DH took her into the other room so I could get another hour. I am so glad she doesn't need night time feeds!!!
We are still doing controlled crying (of a fashion) and she only lasted 5 mins last night. Poor thing probably thinks I don't love her. I was in tears - it's so hard. She was saying mum/mama all day yesterday, but it is so much more pronounced when she is crying. It breaks my heart.
