For new mothers, I would avoid all vaccines, and avoid doctors. The main reason for “well child checkups” is to pressure you to get vaccines. Just forget about them. If “refusing” vaccines makes you uncomfortable, then choose to “delay” them. For many years, Japan did not recommend any vaccines for infants under 2yo, due to the increased dangers.
Just delay, delay, and delay, until about Age 6, and then forget all about it.
Home birth is an option, although childbirth really can be somewhat dangerous, so if you choose to go to a hospital, that is OK too. But after the birth, stay away from vaccines and doctors, unless there is a real medical issue.
For a simple fever, Tylenol is a quick and effective remedy.
