okay , so , everyone is talking about this strep b test and theyre not too far ahead of me pregnancy…

Strep B is common during pregnancy. It's kinda like how they swab your throat when they check for strep throat, except it's "down there"

oh . so kinda like a yearly girl checkup ? @keepingupwithhenry

Like @keepingupwithhenry said. They just stick a swab that looks like a long q tip up there and swab it around. Uncomfortable, but it's done pretty quickly. But it is very common, if it's positive they just have you take antibiotics during delivery so it doesn't pass to the baby.

Yeah kinda!

oh . okay ! i didnt know . my midwife will probably talk to me about it at my 36 week appt but i was curious @emkasting

by down there they don't mean your lady flower, it's the other one lmao

My midwife didn't even have to invade my personal space so to speak, she just swabbed the outside and down towards you butt. It really was nothing, it was so quick and I barely felt anything

Understandable! I didn't know anything about it until I got it done. But @momof5222 I do mean the lady flower lol...are you saying they swabbed you in the butt? It was definitely in the vag for me.. @keepingupwithhenry am I going crazy?

are you trying to tell me theyre going to stick something up my butthole ? @momof5222 & i love my midwife @mariahn . she is usually so good with everything .

i hope youre right @emkasting 😂

@princesssskxo, they shouldn't, everything was external for me lol nothing went up there at all

They swab your vagina, some doctors will also swab down toward your anus. Mine didn't, just my vagina. It wasn't any different than an exam.

idk what shes talking about then @mariahn .

twoards it is fine , in it is a no go for me 😂 idk what she is talking about then @darianweaver .

No they definitely shouldn't be inserting anything into your butt. It should all stay external. 😂

hahhaha no not in the butt but definitely on it, that's where they test for that, it wouldn't be detected in your vagina. ask your dr's

yeah . idk what shes talking about then . my friend texted me and was like " theyre not gonna stick a swab up your ass idk what shes talking about " @darianweaver 😅😅😅

my midwife will bring it up . i was just curious 😂 @momof5222

it's awkward which is why I wanted to give you a heads up. I'm a mom of almost five ;)

Hahaha just ignore her. Omfg. 🙄😂 Uhhh yes it would be detected in your vagina. That's why they swab your vagina, and down to your butt...you probably shouldn't be telling people stuff if you don't know what you're talking about. @momof5222

@princesssskxo Your midwife will explain in more detail. 😂😂😂

No it was my vag😂😂 @emkasting
