Only thing I have heard from hospital about bloods is I'm not immune to rubella. I feel a battle on my hands as I plan to refuse the immunisation

I'm with Krystal on this one. Just say sweetly "no thanks".

I had the bloods to test for immunity with DD2 and (as the midwives are used to me now) they said they would just use those results.

It shouldn't be a battle Lilac, just tell them you don't want it and you've read up about risks etc... (Although, do read about risks too... Obviously) The midwife I saw last time said she'd rather see a hundred women who have informed themselves and made a personal choice than ten who just blindly follow protocol...

I know I'm immune, I had rubella as a newborn... I refused the blood test to check for immunity...

That is why I think it will be a fight TBH, i have had all my innoculations, but when pg with DD1 they said i wasn't immune and I had an MMR before leaving hospital, with DD2 they again said i wasn't immune and I had it put in my notes that i was refusing the MMR and the *insert expletive* gave me it without my knowledge with co balamine for my dodgy blood and the anti blood clot needles(fragmin??). Now I get the 'letter' and it says you will be given an MMR Innoculation before discharge from hospital after the birth. Like ell I will. Battle will commence.

Can you prove this? I believe they call this "assault" you may like to point that out, maybe in your birth plan?

Gonna check it with DH when he gets home. You could just write "if I am given medicines/vaccines without my consent, then litigation for assault will follow", then if they mention it, tell them to check the birth plan.

I'm incensed at the very thought!

I can I have a letter from my NHS trust apologising for the 'oversight'. I should of gotten 5 once daily fragmin injections every day fllowing birth for 5 days and one cobalamine injection just before release from hospital. I got my fragmin then a student came around with kidney dish with a made up syring for my 'injection before discharge' which i prsumed was cobalamin then as we were leaving a nurse was oh you havendt had your cobalamin yet I said I had she said no and pulled out the chart which showed they had given MMR. I had already had a ding dong with a certain member of medical staff over my refusal to have it and I personally think it was deliberate but can't prove it.

DH was a solicitor, so if you don't mind, I'll ask him, but am pretty sure it's assault.

That would solve the argument problem then, wouldn't it?

That really is stepping over the line Lilac!! I agree with GFH, definitely make a note of it all over your green book... I would also make a point of saying "and what's this injection for?" to everything they offer you, might get boring but it will get your point across...

Is that your OH on the sofa? I'm trying to work out how you got pg as his winky look suspiciously like a dogs head:rotfl:



How about Scarlett?

All those thinking of an Eve/Evie or similar, what about Elise? unusual but not OTT

My DD is called Eva Sarah. She was going to Ava but we changed our mind when we saw her.
She always get called Ava and Eve but we don't here of many Eva's about.
Our ds is Dylan John. We have no ideas what to call this one as we've used our favourites.

DH says...it is definitely assault, that the CPS wouldn't bother, but that it would be appropriate for a civil action.

Not that I would normally recommend people get litigious, but the threat of it may be enough to get 'em off your back.

That's not on....I work for a hospital and if you refuse to have an injection or you state that you have already been tested/treated they are not permitted to give you any jab....you have to be consented...ie sign the form saying you are aware of any risks that may be associated with said jab etc.....I would definitely speak to a solicitor on this one if they go against your wishes
