Dr. Mom,
Im filling out some information for my midwife to have on file at the time of my labor! One is what pediatrician or doctor will we be taking my new baby too after he is delivered. I talked with my sons pediatrician who has allowed us to come into his care without my son being fully vaccinated and us not continuing to vaccinate. He just announced today that he will NOT be accepting any new patients who will refuse vaccinations. We will not be vaccinating this baby at all and stopped vaccinating my son at six months old.
Im not sure what to do! All the pediatricians I have talked to will not accept unvaxed pateints. In the event of an emergency....what is one to do? My son rarely ever seems his pediatrician except for once a year well check adn im hoping to never have to take this baby. But what does the law say? Not sure what to do!

Good luck. Hope it all works out. Whatever you do do not give in and end up vaccinating your child. I will always love my parents for not vaccinating me- Re: Cannot find a pediatrician!! peacelovinggirl

I guess they have to back thereselves up incase someone wants to sue them or something goes wrong with the baby! The government has made it hard for midwives to practice the way they want to. I pretty much just have to bring the baby in for a two day old visit and pretty much from there don't have to worry about it since we will not be vaccinating, etc. Bad thing is...in an emergency....what do you do?- Re: Cannot find a pediatrician!!

I would think it would depend on what kind of emergency it is. I know for myself the things most people see as emergencies are not emergencies in my eyes. But as much as I hate Doctors ER's can be great places when you are dieing and are not able to help yourself.I would educated myself as well as I could on health so that the only things i would need from a doctor would be life saving things such as car crashes, gun shots, being kicked in the head by a horses, etc. For sicknesses, most of them can be handled at home but only IF YOU KNOW HOW. I would not tell someone to try to do a lot of the things i would do they have to learn and decide for themselves. each person needs to learn what to do and have the supplies on hand for when something comes up. It's a scary thing to thing about it, but it's one that should be thought about without letting it overwhelm you.
I think the best thing you can do is not to worry. Worry puts bad energy out in to the world around that just asks for things to go wrong.
But take this for what it's worth. Just a guy on the Internet you don't know giving his $.02
Good LUCK!

Thanks for the encouragement! It is a little scary stepping out on our own but I know it's needed if we are to ever trust in Nature. Sometimes we do need a second opinion or a helping hand. For instance...antibiotics can be lifesaving but on in a dier situation. I guess that's what emergency rooms are for. I have only had to take my son in once this year and that was when fear was placed inside of me concerning the swine flu and my son became very ill. He recovered with no treatment....but it was quite scary to know that he probally did have that manmade virus! Things will work out....im certain of it!

Peacelovinggirl - your title says it all - wouldn't the world be a better place if there were more of you! I'm assuming this birth is taking place in a hospital - otherwise there is no reason for this question. If you are birthing at home and there is an emergency with the baby - whatever pediatrician is on call in the emergency room will deal with it. If you are birthing in a hospital and do not have a personal pediatrician you are working with, then let her know you will use the one on call at the hospital. Then make sure you have 'rooming in' for the baby which means the baby will be staying with you. When it has to go to the nursery for check-ups - make sure your husband or mother accompany the baby at all times. If you do not want the baby immunized while in the hospital - sign all of the necessary wavers and then do not let the baby leave your room alone. If this sounds a little over dramatic - believe me - it's not! I know of too many instances where PKU tests and immunizations were done when no one was there to stop it.
I am fortunate to have an older, down-to-earth pediatrician whom I have known for years which respects me enough to work with me. When he is gone, I'm not sure I will ever find another like him. However, under normal circumstances, the only time I need a pediatrician is in an emergency situation. I don't do 'well' baby checks or immunizations, so there really isn't any need. In an emergency I use the one on call. If the midwife insists on a name - give her one - anyone you want to. They will call them in to do a check-up - the doctor will come in once to report on your beautiful, healthy baby - you will tell him you do not want any immunizations at this time due to complications that have occurred with other family members (I'm sure someone in the family had a fever with some immunization) - you want the baby's immune system to mature a little more - he will explain the dangers involved with your decision - you will thank him and that will be that.
Good Luck1 Keep me posted on how you're doing!- Re: Cannot find a pediatrician!! peacelovinggirl

Hi! Im actually giving birth in a birthing center with a midwife. She handed me a sheet to fill out in case there is an emergency if something goes wrong during the birth and I have to be taken to the hospital during birth or after if the baby develops issues! She was not very clear on it but I know she is very anti vaccine and supports my position. I think she just has to have this paper on file due to issues with someone wanting to sue her, etc! To back her up. Thanks so much for your advice!
