My sister tested positive with both her boys. The only major issue was she had to be induced after she 'sprung a leak'. First time was a full induction, which was full on but her DS arrived quickly and safely (vaginal delivery) and had no side effects from the ABs. Her second DS was born in the bath, drug free, at a family birth centre Sure, she had ARM as she had a leak with him too but that was it. I guess he was given the ABs after delivery, I never thought to ask TBH as she was just so thrilled with the drug free water birth!
I was positive for DD2. Was induced so they put the cannula in at the start for the first lot of ABs, didn't really bother me at all during labour. But because she arrived just over 2 hours later, they monitored her fairly closely for the first day or so in hospital as I didn't get the full dose of ABs. Nothing serious, just lots of temperature checks to keep an eye on her. She had no issues.
I too tested positive in my 3rd pregnancy but hadn't in the first two.
MY labour progressed too fast for any treatment.
I had a nice natural labour my way.
Bubs just had to remain in hospital for 24 hours to have his temp monitored.
Chin up you are not a failure , its just one of those sucky things
Its funny you just never know what can happen, i'm not there yet anyway bub is still cooking! But for my first labour i wanted ti stay an extra night, which i did. My second i wanted to leave straight away but didn't. And for this labour i was planning to go straight home after being monitored for 4 hrs, but now b/c i have GBS i'm guessing i'll have to stay for at least 24hrs. I am hoping to have 1 more baby and i'm guessing things will be different again...!
Ladies thanks for all your input, i really appreciate it. <3 <3
I had a family gathering today and i just couldn't bring myself to tell about my GBS as i felt as if i'd cry, crazy i suppose, but i just felt so emotional!!
Love to all..x
I had my 38 wk appt yesterday and my midwife said i could retake the swab as she tells me that they say the bacterium has a 5 wk life span, and i could have been in wk 5 when the test was taken. So i have done it.
There is the likelihood that i am still positive but i feel better just for the fact that i have taken the test again. If it comes back positive then i'm still ok and i will deal with what i have to; but if it comes back negative i'm covered....well clear for the birth!!
Good luck to you all! x
