Hi everyone. I work full time as a nanny and both kids just tested positive for strep. Is this a threat to my baby? Should I take a day off until they are no longer contagious?
It is contagious untill fever free and on antibiotics for 24 hrs. You definitely don't want to be around it till then!
i had strep throat while pregnant they treat you for it and it goes away
@sarahemccormick, yes it's contagious right now and I have been very sick with it lately. it's no fun
Definite threat. I would take at least 24-48 hours off from work, until the kids had been on antibiotics for a full 24 hrs. Strep is very dangerous in pregnancy , and its also very contagious.

I will be 41 :/
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.
Things I never thought I'd say...
Until I became a mom:
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...
it's contagious... but it's not going to kill you... yes strep throat hurts like a birch and will make you miserable but meds will clear if up within days... just don't let them breathe directly in your face AND WASH YOUR HANDS... lol
