We had 2 donors standing by that were not vaccinated and got all kinds of excuses that it wouldn't be feasible. They finally said if in the rare case she needed blood, they could stop the bleeding long enough for us to donate blood. I find it hard to believe this is not a bigger issue. Catholic Hospital, Catholic Doctor, and the last thing out of his mouth was "The Pope says it's OK!" Any experts out there want to weigh in on the introduction of mRNA blood into an unvaccinated bloodstream?
She did not need the transfusion, but . . .
Set to give birth soon. I said I do not want any blood products. I trust that the Lord will help me deliver smoothly
In the same boat.
Yep I didn't need any blood products with the other ones so hopefully it will be the same
The only blood product I needed last time was RhoGam. I've been able to refuse it so far this time, and hope it stays the same.
Do you know if you have another child and they are R+, you could be risking them or other later babies? That happened to my brother, before they had rhogam. He was a "blue baby" because our mother had the rh antibodies in her blood.
