Good morning, GA! After 4+ years of trying, my wife is finally pregnant. A little late at 35, but she is healthy and in shape, so hopefully everything goes smoothly. I've been wondering about what kind of things they're going to try to inject in this kid. Are any of them necessary? I'd be worried about them sneaking the "covid vaccine" in there. We're both unjabbed. Is it possible/advisable to refuse all injections? Thanks, friends!

Dr. Elvove was our doctor in Illinois and he is still practicing today!!!. I saw him in Lincolnshire, but I see he is now in Libertyville. He was part of a group of doctors in the Northern Illinois area that did home births/family practice. In the 1980's there was a lot of persecution towards these doctors because of their home birth practices, but I am glad to say that he has survived...I also see that Cathy, one of our nurse midwives is still in his practice. I have nothing but praise for this great man and the opportunities he gave us. I am sure he has delivered thousand of babies. As with any doctor, you have to prepare yourself with all the knowledge you can...even good doctors need to be checked out. I am so grateful to God for the opportunities He gave us in Illinois to participate in such wonderful knowledge and family centered activity. We had a wonderful La Leche League leader, we had a food co-op and a babysitting co-op and a home school support group and a playgroup. I have to say 1978-1989 were very wonderful years in the Round Lake area I lived in. God sometimes blesses us with so much more than we could ever imagine and that is my time in Illinois, where I have the fondest memories of all the people and places that I knew. Memories are wonderful things when we pull them out and revisit them.................
My wife worked for the LLLI office and Dr. Rosi, who just died last year, attended the birth of two of our babies. Zumhagen and Schattauer were at the others.
I have absolutely no criticism of any of my homebirths. I will say one came out posterior, one had the cord wrapped around her neck (it was a very long cord) and another had a meconium movement before being delivered...so there are so many different circumstances that these practitioners need to be prepared for. And yet birth should be the most natural thing we do, right?
Wow I wish I knew you when! My kids are 25 and 27 and I live in Illinois (but spend some time in SC). There was one kid in our neighborhood who was unvaccinated and everyone thought the parents were crazy. Who knew I would feel the way I do about pretty much anything. Congratulations on bucking the system. (PS - My sister lives up in Antioch and I love the community there. It's like a time machine for me, people are so chill and nice and awake but not woke).
Where do you live in Illinois? Where do you come to in SC...I really love SC...Charleston is one of my ALL time favorite cities and I love the Lake Hartwell area...wouldn't mind moving there... I had a close friend in Round Lake...we both had 4 kids at the time...met in La Leche League...she still lives up there and her daughter now lives in Antioch...just had her 3rd child at 42...they live on the lake.
We used to go fishing up in Antioch...in one of the chain of lakes...I loved it up there...strawberry picking... apple picking and skiing in Wisconsin...I just love the area and it saddens me so that Illionois has become such a horrible blue state with such corrupt politicians. There are many wonderful people there...we were there before any of the malls, amusement places etc. were built...very small town living that I just loved...perfect for a growing family...God bless you and yours...
We go to Hilton Head Island which is around 2 1/2 hours from Charleston and an hour from Savannah Georgia. I love the weather and am here in SC now. My husband had a residency requirement for Chicago so we have a house there too, but it is essentially the suburbs - stone's throw literally. Very police/fire neighborhood so it's comfortable for us socially. Paul Vallas for Mayor signs everywhere LOL. Hope he wins the runoff. Chicago needs a break. God Bless you and yours as well. There are so many nice people in Illinois, even Chicago. Sad. I keep hoping for a miracle.
I grew up in Whiting Indiana...20 minutes from the Loop...when we got married moved to Round Lake Beach (77-89) then moved to NE suburb of Atlanta in 89 and been here since...have a son in Savannah...been there many times and been to Hilton Head many times too...my love is to visit as many different beaches up and down the east coast (Charleston to the Keys) and the Gulf Coast...love the beach...
Well Vallas won...but the whole state needs a miracle. Both sets of my grandparents are from Southern Illinois...Harrisburg and Muddy. We always spent lot of time in Illinois since Whiting is on the border...it really is a nice state...small world...
Ah I think I have friends who used that practice.
