I found out last week I am GBS Positive....for those of you not aware of what this is, it is apparently nothing horrible but just could lead to a potential issue with baby when you are in labor (I won't go into details but it is a bacteria found in many pregnant women)! So, they test you close to your due date to find out if you are so they can take precautionary measures during labor. Basically, I have to get to the hospital as soon as I start labor pains or if my water breaks so I can get a penicillin drip for 4 hours before having the baby. While I am told by my Doctor that it is not a big deal and about 25% of pregnant women have this, it still makes me a little nervous and cautious of when this baby is going to come! I was doing so well having no problems and boom here is a little issue I need to worry about. But I figure if this is the worse thing that happens and we can take care of it before giving birth, then I will try not to worry!
Very hard when labor is so unpredictable and there is now a reason that I have to get to the hospital as soon as I can!
