WOW, Now my head is realling after reading all that Kelly!!
I have never been told much at all about any of it, just that it is a standard test, ans they will do it 2 weeks before bubs birth.
I think I will stick to my guns anyway, and insist on antibiotics anyway, as I dont want another wound infection again.
Problem is, I am highly allergic to most anitbiotics,,,,,penicillin, vibramycin, erithromycin,,,,but the worst, is bactrim, which give me the whole swollen airways and mouth effect in minutes. So i am limited to Flagyl, and keflex only,,,,,,,,,so as i said, i would prefer to prevent an infection,,,than have to treat one with such limited choices for antibiotics.
