I go to a specialist tomorrow for a level
two ultrasound. My doctor didn't refer
me so I made my own appt. When I talked
with this doctors office, they were amazed
at the unprofessionalism my doctor showed
by not referring. I am very nervous,
scared yet relieved because hopefully we
will get some answers. My belly is
getting bigger and I haven't been leaking.
I still have some pain but it's not bad.
If it was a blood clot, perhaps my body
is just healing. Oh, I can't wait for
answers. I do have to go prepared for
bad news, too. Something more can be
wrong.
I will write more after my doctor's appt
tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. Sorry to be so glum but
I just read that strep b can cause the
premature rupture of membranes. If you
have that, the chances are high you can
pass it on to the baby and the baby may
not make it. If the baby makes it, the
chance for c.P, neurological disorders,
etc...Are high. Statistics suck!!!
Didn't kia say that once??
Here I am thinking that the baby has
already beaten amazing odds by actually
having the membranes seal, which is rare
for a spontatneous rupture not one caused
by an amniocentsis just to discover that
if the baby makes it to birth the chances
of strep b are high because it could have
been received during the whole prom thing.
I also read that if you are highly
colonized, then that can cause your mucous
plug to disappear! I was always wondering
why I never saw one for lil' nate!!!

Try not to worry about things that might
not even be happening, you will send
yourself loopy. The internet can be your
worst enemy when you're worrying about
things like that becauise you can find all
sorts of scary crap. Good luck at your
doc's appointment, fingers crossed for
you.

not that I recall.
Strep b is routinely tested for (in the
us) just before the end of the pregnancy
(36-38 weeks). Strep b doesn't usually
cause a problem but if you test positive
they tend to have you in hospital on an
antibiotic iv drip.
Or sometimes suggest a c-section
instead.
The infection can be passed on as the baby
passes through the birth canal - which is
why they sometimes suggest the c-section.
