Hi ladies,

i just got my results confirming that ive got strep b again. This is now twice for me.

I think the condition is not explained properly enough, or done thoroughly enough in my opinion.

This is my third pregnancy. And with my first, i was never even offered the strep test, so who knows, i could have had it then as well. And my first born had no problems.

Anyway my experience with my second pregnancy, was when i was in labour, there was no time to get the antibiotics to work or run in my system long enough to protect the baby, yet despite this, my son was born with no problems.

And i personally did feel confined to a bed with the drips and stuff attached to me. Looks like ill be facing the same situation again, with drips on me, and being confined to a bed.

I guess my point is, ask lots of questions, and even if they cant get the stuff into you sooner, it doenst necessarily mean that bubs is going to catch it from you. Its a 50/50 thing, i think.

Mel
