So my doctor just called a little while ago and I tested positive for Group B strep 😭...whenever I go in labor I have to be given antibiotics so the baby won't get sick. It just sucks.
yeah I bet.. my old OB had the info online but my knew one doesn't @kaymariah
Yea it's convenient so you know what's going on as well @sarahk088
Oh but that's normal tho. if they find something they call me . but I'm also able to look at my own test results online so it doesn't bother me if they don't call cuz I can look at it myself. @sarahk088
ugh! I hope they hurry lol but my dr is on of those who if its nothing or comes out normal then they won't call and its irritating
@sexii_diiva, nope don't be scared, it's fine, just think of it like this, you know how some people engage in Anal sex, well they tell you never go from anal to vagina without fully washing due to the fact that the anal and rectal track is full of nasty bacteria from the foods we eat, also another reason why they tell you to wipe from front to back and not back to front because of bacteria.
@sarahk088 I had it done Wednesday and he called today with results so it took a while
Nope because if you test positive they give antibiotics during labor so it doesn't harm baby but you might not even have to worry about it.
@january10th so its not a big deal at all.. doesn't harm baby or anything?
@sexii_diiva I get my test next Friday at 36 weeks & 6 days but I believe it's from 34 to 37 or so it depends on the doctor. nothing to be scared of they just give you antibiotics during labor so baby doesn't get infections
@mrssabby @january10th oo y'all scaring me.. when do they test you for this? kinda scary @kaymariah I hope everything turns out well for you
how long did it take you to get the results back? I just had mine today at 35 weeks cause my son keeps trying to come out early
I know. two of my friends had it when they were pregnant it's still weird tho cuz there's not really a cause for it @brandi_22
Girly your not alone I tested positive for it at the beginning of my pregnancy and so did my friend who is also preggers! It's so common.
Yea I just read that it comes from a bacteria that lives in the intestine, vagina, and rectum area and 25% of healthy women are gbs carriers. I guess it's something that just happens @january10th
It comes from bacteria in the foods we eat, mostly from fish and cows, so milk, beef and stuff like that, it spreads from your intestines to the vaginal area to the birth canal, they gave me antibiotics 3wks ago, but that's cause it's to early to test, so if something happens and you go in labor before the test they give you antibiotics just to be safe, it's not an std, so don't feel bad 😊
I really have no clue it's weird because you tested positive this time but next time you have a baby you could very well test negative. it's a bacteria that spreads from the rectum up to the vaginal canal or something like that.
I'm not it just sucks that I have something that can make him sick. how do u even get strep anyway? it's weird Idk @january10th
It's not that bad they hook you up to ivs anyway 😕 I had to get the antibiotics with my second because my doctor didn't get to test me before I went in to labor 😔 & with my first I was negative. it's not so bad don't worry so much about it
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
So I just found out that my husband is sleeping with my sister and they are making fun of me.
Oh ok @sarahk088
