Birth & Baby Ep. 38 - Vaccination (in pregnancy) Yes or No? A Heart to Heart with Dr Margreet

Welcome and thank you for listening! It feels as if COVID-19 has taken over our lives this past year, and we're currently in the midst of the vaccine roll out. How does one navigate through this turbulent time? Well let's talk about it... We are all somehow shy, possibly even careful to share our vaccine opinions on public platforms - we may be scared to be labelled, to lose face etc. But ALL of us have our question marks, we all have real fears and our concerns are real. So let's be real. IT IS NOT AN EASY TIME! Whether you are a healthcare worker, pregnant, breast-feeding or none of these, it is all VERY real right now! I am not going to tell you to vaccinate or not, to be either pro or against the jab, everyone will find research and articles out there to back their opinion. In my opinion it's all a losing battle. It polarises society and quickly becomes a political, economical agenda etc. BUT WE ALL WANT WHAT IS BEST RIGHT? Remember, we are all part of a massive experiment. We don't know what the impact and long term consequences will be. So what do we do? - Don't lose your common sense - Follow your intuition / Trust the Holy Spirit - Don't make fear based decisions - Move in love, power and a sound mind Let's keep talking! Let's have honest, open conversations. Give feedback to research initiatives if you want to help science. Let's stay united. LOVE over FEAR. And remember: Health is our right and responsibility!
