The gp I saw this arvo was very supportive, but at the same time said there are risks (risks to have or not to have, and false negatives, etc). He said to "be confident with my decision". It was fine with him that I said I didn't want it. I guess I just needed to hear a dr say that it was okay. Not sure why, I don't hold a lot of faith in them to start with.

The drip I had when Steph was a bub was in my forearm. It wasn't too constrictive, it was the mere fact that I had a needle-like thing in me for more than a few seconds. That's about my limit.

To me, the main reason I am now going to avoid the drip (nobody wants to give me the test now anyway) for GBS is for all the potential issues it could cause for the baby later on. Oh, and for that reason, the Man is also supportive of me not getting it.
