Getting my strep b test tomorrow. What should I expect? I honestly don't recall getting this done…

@aliya0915, Is that mandatory??? I HATE shots with a passion. I mean, I will get it for baby's safety, especially with what just happened to my gbabes.

They take a long qtip and take a swab of the inside of your cervixs and swab around your rectal

@aliya0915, they swap your vagina and the your butt hole, very weird and uncomfortable😁😁😁

Very quick swipe of your vag and your rectum. Nothing major at all.

My doctor told me in the beginning of this pregnancy it was. I've never heard of it before then. I was going to ask my doctor tomorrow was it mandatory... @babyhawkins2015 I'm guessing it is now?

I don't think it was that bad if I remember correctly they just swab your genital area with a q tip

Thanks! @Karnawest im trying to prepare myself... These are the uncomfortable visits I guess

@aliya0915, Geez... I really don't remember getting it with my 3 other kids...then again, it's been 16-21 years...Things have changed big time! ugh

@aliya0915 yeah its not fun... lol the cervixs isn't that bad since they are already checking it but the other is an unpleasant surprise lol

The back area??? Oh LORD! 😢 @mrsalston @queeneden @royce_nikol

@babyhawkins2015, me either.... I know with my 16 yo it wasn't done but I don't remember with the 3yo. I still have to get my whooping cough vaccine

Lol it wasn't bad at all tho it's only a cotton swab and it doesn't go inside they just test your skin

Lol!!!! You should see my face right now 😖🙀 @Karnawest

I'm pretty sure it's kind of like a pap smear

😭😭😭😭😭 @aliya0915 I was like😳😳😳😳😳 when my doctor did the rectal swab, just thinking about it I'm like😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Whew!!!! @Royce_nikol I'm thinking something else 😂

Lol nah it's not that , & if it's positive you don't even get treated until you start labor ,because it's a bacteria that all women have, sometimes during pregnancy it comes out and it's not safe for the babies eyes but it's nothing to stress over

@aliya0915, Bwahahahaha...Um.. I am almost just wanting THE shot!! Forget swabbing! lmao

@babyhawkins2015, I'm going to ask my doctor for the meds tomorrow lol!

@aliya0915, Bwahahahaha... yeah, just be proactive without invasion.
