I Have Good News And Bad, Please, Advice? Posted: 02-12-04 19:51pm
Hey girls its me heather. I had to go to
the doctor today because I was having some
major back pain yesterday, and cramping so
bad I thought I was gonna start my period.
So anyways I went in at 10:30am and had
to give my urine sample. She tested it
and said omg. I cryed instantly I was
already on the verge of a nervous
breakdown. She says hunny, you have
another germ. I was mad and happy at the
same time. "what?" she says it is urinal
strep. What the crap is that????
Sounds like a std. I mean because of
this I have to be put on a drop when I
give birth so the baby don't get it. She
said it is just a precaution so baby don't
get it. For now I am on keflex. 4 a
day for 7 days. She says I am likely to
get a yeast infection so eat lots of
yogurt after you take it. Eeerrrr this
makes me so mad. Pregnancy seems to be
very stressful, yet you are not allowed to
be stressed.
Well, for the good news, because my aunt
had spina bifida, chance for baby to have
it. The blood test they did on the 5th
came out negative. She don't have
anything. The test usually shows 95%
wrong for saying she does. Sorry this is
so long. Anyways on the 27th I go for
genetic counseling and I found out today
right after that I go straight to the
ultrasound to find out if she really is a
she. Some happy news huh?
Please if you have ever had this any
advice?

Ive heard about group b strep with preggie
women, dunno if that is the same
thing...Im sure everything is going to be
fine..Do a search on the internet and u
should geta lot of useful info
okay I looked it up and it is urinal group
b strep heres the small amt of info they
had on it:*gbs in the urine should be
treated at the time it is diagnosed.
Carriage of gbs, in either the vagina or
rectum, becomes important at the time of
labor and delivery -- when antibiotics are
effective in preventing the spread of gbs
from mother to baby*
seems like u got the "lucky" version!
Lol, seems like its easier treated if its
just in the urine...
Well girl, I sure hope everything works
out for you. I wish you the best. And
yes, I know it's stressful..... But of
course I have to say.... Don't stress.
Love,
chanda

Thanks Alot Girls. Posted: 02-13-04 00:16am
Hey, thanks for looking it up, I sure am
glad I got the lucky version, lol. It
seems a little much, 4 a day for 7 days.
I have not taken any medicine for the 16
weeks and 4 days that I have been preggy
and I guess 4 seems like alot, especially
at 500mg each. I mean they dont want us
having more than 500mg of tylenol. I
guess I am just a worrywort! The fact
that she was not kicking me had me so
scared. The nurse reassured me and we
took a listen to her heartbeat. 146bpm.
Wow she sure is doing fine. I tried
playing with my tummy and everything.
You know when you rub one side and you
aggervate baby, they kinda object, or play
back. Well it was not workin this time.
Today we were at kroger getting the
yogurt, med., and more water, she started
boxing with me. I was like yep, she is
fine! So, thank so much for the help and
knowledge!!
Lots of love
heather

My aunty had it when she was pregnant with
her first baby, its not an std, we are all
tested routinly in australia, apparently
it is something that can occure naturally
in the body but is really only a risk to
the baby during birth which is why they
give u antibiotics during your labour, so
don't worry about it.....

Thanks So Much Girls!!!! Posted: 02-14-04 00:29am
Hey, thanks alot for all the info., really
helps to have advice and reassurance. As
for your questions, I am 16 weeks and 6
days, as of this morning, lol. The
father and I at this moment are not
together. I would love to hit him over
the head and wake him up! My next
appointment beyond the 27th is march 4th.
The 27th is not really an appointment,
just to hear some satistics and see my
baby, find out if its a boy or girl. For
my regular check-up that would be the 4th.
The day that I went for the appointment,
we got to hear the heartbeat and it was
146bpm. She wanted to make me feel a
little at ease. Then of course she
pushed on my belly and said coming along
great! Again, thanks for your input.
Lots of love
heather
when is your next
appt?
