Arimeh I didn't know that some obs and midwives dont even offer it. I thought it was a routine test. That puts my mind at ease.
Mama Spice thanks for the tip about bubs temp. That will keep my mind at ease.
Chocolatecatty I dont think my urine came up with anything sinister but ill check with my midwife. Its true that all they do is put a thing in your hand and then they give you antibiotics every 4 hours but just the fact that i had to be in the hospital from when my waters broke made me feel like i was on the clock and didn't help me get a natural birth. If i was at home i could have relaxed and dealt with it better i feel. Plus when i was induced i was hooked up to every machine possible so that certainly didn't help me.
I spoke to a friend of mine about this the other day and she said it was in my best interest to have the test as her ob had told her that the reason they test at 36 weeks is if you have it then there is a very high chance that you will have it at birth as it wont go away after that time. I find that difficult to believe.
