Okay so I have gestational diabeties, then
I get all itchy(that got better by the
way), now my blood pressure is through the
roof, I have
Strep B, and a urine infection, and
yesterday my midwife put me on bed rest.
Its all really starting to affect me. My
husband and I have been wanting another
baby for about 3 years. She took a long
time to concive and now everything is
going wrong. I know I should feel
greatfull because so far she's healthy.
Its all me, but it feels like I'm putting
her in jeapordy. The blood pressure,
diabeties, and strep b could all cause
potential problems for her. I'm really
freaking out but everyone keeps telling me
that this stuff happens and its not my
fault and I'm doing everything I can.
It dosen't feel like enough though. Is
anyone else dealing with these problems?
How are you coping?

Ok, that was really confusing... you went
from you being pregnant, to sounding like
you're a lesbian couple where she is
pregnant, but it says 'my husband and I'.
Really confused here...
Strep B is as random as it gets. It
doesn't affect you in any way (more
harmful for the baby), they'll just put
antibiotics in your IV when you give
birth. Same with BP. If it's associated
with Pre-eclampsia, it's just as random.
They don't know what causes it, and the
healthiest pregnant women get it, along
with the most unhealthy pregnant women.
gestational diabeties is a little more
controllable, but it just means a little
more strict diet.
All of them should go away once the baby
comes, but it's possible to get actual
diabeties later in life and in another
pregnancy. As for the infection, drink
lots of water and cranberry juice. If it
doesn't go away, I'm not sure if you can
take the antibiotics while pregnant, but
they will surely give you some afterwards.

Well, I had Gestational Diabetes &
Abrupto Placenta & my baby was
fine.....Alot of times we try so hard to
get pregnant & then bad stuff happens.
It'll be ok...I have a healthy 18mo old
who was born via emergency c-section!
Worst case sinerio, you have to have a
c-section, right?? You'll recover! As long
as you stay on a strict diet & monitor
everything like your supposed to, you'll
do fine & have a healthy baby girl!!

im not too sure about blood pressure or
diabetes but the Strep B really isnt
something to be too freaked out about. Yes
you will get IV antibiotics when you
deliver but thats about as serious as it
gets. I also have strep b. My midwife told
me that towards the end of my pregnancy
they will do culturs to see if I have
active strep b near the birth canal. If I
dont then I will not require the IV. But
she wants to give it to me as a
precaution. As long as you will deliver at
a hospital the strep b isnt such a big
deal. Yes there are major risks to baby,
but todays technology will prevent that. I
also have genital herpes. So that has me a
little stressed out but that to can be
maintained and controlled.
Im sure they can help maitain your BP and
diabetes too. Try to relax. I know how
stressful that can be but being stressed
right now is also not good for the baby.
Hang in there im sure your doc will take
good care of you.

Thank you. I've been feeling better
latley. I've been able to keep my
diabeties under control, and at my last
appointment my bp wasn't too high. I'm
still a little freaked about the strep b
though.
