I Need to Update my Vaccinations

In my last pregnancy I found out from my doctor that I needed to get updated on a vaccination. I think it may have been rubella that I need to have. I am not for sure. Rubella seems familier. However, it was five months ago and I do not have the slightest clue what it was called. For right now, I will just say the Rubella vaccination. I had no idea I had to be updated and when I found out it was a bit of a shock. My doctor said that it was safe to get during pregnancy. However, I miscaried before I could get it. Now that we are trying again I want to have the vaccination before I get pregnant.

I called the doctors office today to make an appointment with Dr. B at the clinic in Sheldon, Iowa. Since we live a few towns away I want to go on a day that either Josh or I get paid. So, I was scheduled for the first of next month. That way Josh and I will both be paid on that day.

I do not know what to expect with a vaccination. It has been a while since I have gotton one. I think the last shot I had to prevent an illness was to prevent TB. That was two years ago. I would rather be updated for the vaccinations I need now because I do not want to take any chances. Allthough Dr. B told me it was safe, I want to make sure. There is too much speculation. Becides, in the book I was reading it said to have the Rubella vaccination before you get pregnant. I think it is for the best.

The truth is I do not even know what Rubella is. I have heard of it. I should google it and read up about it. There is too much I do not know about pregnancy in general. I think I will be taking the time to read about it a bit more. I want to be prepared for this. There is nothing wrong with a little naivete. Too much just makes you a fool. I am no fool.

So, I googled rubella. See, I knew I needed to know this and get the vaccination before I was pregnant. I am a little too nieve about pregnancy. I need to read from pregnancy manuals starting today. I have one in the house right now. The 'What to Expect When Your Expecting' is at the other house. I can stop by Everly and pick it up tomarrow. Now, I have read from the books. This time I want to pick it up and read it front to back so I know everything. So, I am no fool. I only need to read the books I have again. I might have missed a few things.
