Well, Alyssa had her imms this morning and so far she seems happy enough and still smiling. Last time it took a few hours to kick in and she was really grizzly and unhappy for 3 days so I'm hoping this time may be different.. This time around I was able to get Pamol into her unlike last time so maybe it really does help?

Good luck for your appt tomorrow Kels - I hope Alize just ends up sleeping really well and no grizzles... Alyssa was great after her 6 weeks imms, just really sleepy :)]]> Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:13:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=99180&title=imms-appt#99180 <![CDATA[Imms appt : Monique is is ok to start the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=99159&title=imms-appt#99159 Author: Kels

Monique is is ok to start the imms schedule here and then when in oz they will have guidelines on how to catch up to their schedule and different imms being given there.

Haleighsmum, get in touch with the health board of the state you are going to as they are all different over there. Find out what they imms for and at what age then try and work out with the NZ imms how they will all fit. Another option is to just start the imms over in OZ when you get there. I had most of mine done in OZ (many years ago) and got the chicken pox imms for free (that was 1982 thou).]]> Mon, 08 Jan 2007 10:27:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=99066&title=imms-appt#99066 <![CDATA[Imms appt : Good luck for Tuesday, I know...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=99043&title=imms-appt#99043 Author: jax

wow I didnt realsie they brought the menzb into the schedule, thats good. I remember taking HAleigh in for 6 wks then again not long after for menzb etc. All though it never bothered her not eve a scream outta her (very lucky we had a chilled baby lol).

I wonder whats going to happen when we move to OZ then, case bubs will be born in June and we'll be moving in Aug/ Sept so it will be on a different imm schedule, and they use different imms to us and charge for some that are free for us.

Good Luck for Tuesday I'm sure is going to be a brave little trooper, I find they generally are more brave than mum lmao]]> Mon, 08 Jan 2007 07:20:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=99025&title=imms-appt#99025 <![CDATA[Imms appt : Hey There Becks, Not sure if you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=98896&title=imms-appt#98896 Author: Kels

Hey There Becks, Not sure if you know this,  but since you are holding off on the menzb schedule till after 5mths, your babe will only need the 3menzb injections not four. Babes are only given the forth dose at 10mths if they received their first dose before 5mths as their level of immunity is lower than if they were older after the three injections. However Im not promoting waiting till 5mths as the risks are still high for meningitis, but I do believe in giving all the info for mums to make informed decisions.. I have had mums come into my surgery asking what I would do for my own kids imms and I always explain that I have my nursing opinion and my Mummy opinion, as I dont mix the two. At the end of the day I am a mum first and sometimes having too much info can make me neurotic lmao. Good on you Becks for making your own informed decision  .

Kels thanks for that info. Its nice to hear things from a person that does the job, but isn't pushing the info at you. At this stage i'm holding the MenZb back until after this one is 5 months (well that is the plan) I think all I could take is 2 jabs at once.

But good luck for tuesday.

Yeah I have been getting all 3 at once and feel so sorry for Alyssa when it's being done.. I was given the option and figured it was better to get them over and done with in one hit. The only thing I notice about different nurses giving the imms is that one of them gave the leg a pinch and the other just jabbed the needle straight in....I'm sure the pinch must hurt less but maybe not...she cries either way We have to take her for her next lot on Monday..]]> Sat, 06 Jan 2007 23:28:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=98835&title=imms-appt#98835 <![CDATA[Imms appt : Because they have brought the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5119&PID=98731&title=imms-appt#98731 Author: Kels

Because they have brought the menzb into the schedule, that means babys are having 3imms at their scheduled visits, so they are needing to put 2injection in one thigh. All 3injection are needing to be put into the muscle (IM injections) and the only place is thighs for babys. Before the menzb the injections were 1 in each thigh but with the 3 now, 2 in the same thigh. You can chose to have 1 in each thigh and come back for menzb. I ALWAYS give mums the option, as some mums dont feel comfortable with 3injection in one day. Personal preference. Nurses are only there as a supplier of information and support. I hate it when my friends tell me their practice nurse is bullying them into different things.

I bet that must be hard I hate imms too but I haven't got the nursing background as well.

aw so different when its your own.

Alize is going for his imms on Tuesday . Now I have immunised hundreds of babies in the last 3yrs I've been vacinating but now its my own im just being a sooky mum. I feel sorry for the nurse I get as I will be peering over her shoulder making sure she has the right position, right space between sites for the DtaP/IPV & HIB/HepB (they are given in the same thigh), right needle length and vaccine LOL. That Poor nurse....
