Thank you doppler company.

Nothing is more unnerving than to not feel a usually active baby. His time to move and groove is usually in the afternoons/evenings, but he always lets me feel his presence a little bit each morning when I wake up. Today? Absolutely nothing. I wiggled. I jiggled. And still, nothing. I pulled out the doppler and heard the strong heartbeat immediately. Whew.

Thanks for all the comments (so far) on the vaccinations. Some people did get quite, um, "debatable" in the comments, but I won't be responding as I just have never done the research on the dangers of vaccines. I have read from reputable sources that the scientific community has debunked some of the issues, but that's all I know so I can't give my 2 cents. I'll give my opinion, but to speak to actual facts, I can't do it.

I did not main question answered at all though, which I am a little bummed about. There weren't that many people opposing vaccinations who answered though. Two people did say they don't depend on the vaccinations of other children to keep their child safe, but only one of them said they were worried about it. Another posed a hypothetical question while one anonymous just went on a dialog of his/her opinion that vaccinations don't really "work" and it does cause autism, but no mention of answering the question I posed.

I hope it's not a trend, but the people who are really against vaccinating their children seem to skip directly over the moral issues of their decision, instead spending their time to debunk the value of vaccinations themselves or on the side effects a vaccination can/could cause, including the supposed link to autism. Only one or two people left comments of this nature, but I'm also speaking from the experience of talking to people and reading some of the websites while doing my research yesterday. It just seems to me that many of these people gloss over the dangers of ~not~ vaccinating, instead focusing on the risks of the vaccination, although these risks are pale in comparison to the risk of the danger of their child contracting one of these quite deadly diseases. I really wanted to see how that was thought of in the anti vaccinations communities.
