I have been concerned for the past weeks as my delivery due date is getting closer. I know Polio can be letal for anybody, so I'm trap in a dilemma.
The current Polio Vax used in the States is the IPV (injectable) that contains MRC-5, while the more "ethical" OPV (oral) has long been discontinued.
I wouldn't want my baby to suffer due to polio in the future, however, the IPV (injectable) goes against my religious beliefs and is a clear catch from big pharma. They could have let the OPV one as an option, but they just wanted money.
Greedy bastards.
Any advices, alternatives?
Ironically, I was raised like that before moving to the states and I have been missing my homeland lifestyle, reason why I asked my husband to move out of the cities and have a more easy suburban/rural life.
I've been taking vit C, D, B12, Zinc, Fish oil and Vit D3 since before I got pregnant and during pregnancy. The OBGYN believes that's the reason my daughter is more active than some at this time of gestation.
That's great. Congrats on the baby by the way. God bless you and keep you safe during the rest of your pregnancy and through the delivery!
