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!

So much good info on here from others, but thought I'd reply directly to you.
First and most importantly, CONGRATS! Becoming a parent is the most special moment in one's life. Here are some of my recommendations.
If age mid-30s is a concern, don't let it be. My wife and I were mid 30s as well and had several miscarriages prior. We let the obgyn know this so as a precaution, they had my wife take estrogen supplements to ensure a solid pregnancy. Maybe look into that. I'm convinced it helped.
For your wife, it's good that she is fit/healthy. Encourage her (and join her) in maintaining a good exercise regime during pregnancy. My wife is/was always active, and during pregnancy, we walked daily and did a lot of swimming. Nothing extreme obviously but stay active.
During delivery and immediately after, another poster on here said it correctly. Do NOT lose site of the child. Our hospital allowed our baby boy to stay in the delivery room with us the entire time...together...until we were discharged...together. They did not take him away at any time. Look for a hospital that offers that option. You don't want them taking the baby away to a nursery.
They will likely do a blood draw of the baby. I don't know if there's a way to get around that as they have to test a blood sample, determine blood type, etc. But state early and often that you do not want any immediate jabs/vaxxes. Be VERY polite about it. Try not to come off anti-jab. Just politely state "not at this time". That hep vaxxx is entirely unnecessary. And nowadays, you never know what's in that needle. Continue that "not at this time" message repeatedly with every subsequent visit. Politely.
Also, make sure you and your wife are on the same page with everything. Stating the obvious here but the birthing experience is a rollercoaster for the wife/mom and emotions can run high leading up to and during delivery day. Make sure you have your strategy set together and are on the same page with EVERYTHING.
You'll get a lot of good, sound advice from your frens here. Congrats again!
