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
Booooooo...... i failed!! Nah not that bad! Still have the strep B. But good to know you can retake the test if you want to. I guess i know i have to get to hosp at a good enough time to have the 2 doses of AB....
So how long will my labour be?! : o )
