So my Dr called yesterday to tell me that my hep B test came back positive but the lab didn't do a follow up to see if it was due to the vaccine in my blood or if I'm actually infected. I don't remember ever having the vaccine and I looked it up and this looks like a disease mainly contracted by IV drug users, people in the medical field, and sexual activity. The thing is I've been married for 13 years and we had our first baby 2 years ago and I was negative then. I've definitely done none of the risky things that contract it since then (or before for that matter) so I'm kinda freaking out :( I don't go for the follow up test for another week and then it takes several days more to get the results.
Thanks @just9monthsx3 :) My mom works in health care and said the same thing. I just wish the lab had done the secondary test while they had my blood like they were supposed to. They are causing my nerves to fray! My mom also said it is a virus that can live a long time on surfaces in the environment so it's possible I could have contracted it without sex or drugs. I don't know why it's bothering me so much, even if I do have it, the baby will just have to have the vaccines when born. I hate to put a small baby through something that is so harsh to their system but they'll live!
Sometimes people get false positives. I would look up the probability of it being a false positive. I'll look it up for you if you want. Hopefully that will help ease your anxiety.
No it was definitely hep B which is why I'm so concerned/confused.
I agree, it was probably strep B. They test for it in your third trimester.
Were you recently vaccinated for hep B? And are you sure it was hep B and not strep B? Because they test for strep B in your pregnancy.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
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...
