Dr. Appt And Important Question Posted: 03-08-07 18:01pm
Well I went to see my midwife today. I am
37 weeks and 2 days along. His head is
all the way down and so he is ready to
come out almost! I have been having
period like cramps every few hours and my
midwife said they are contractions.
She said unless my water breaks or I start
to bleed, just come home and relax and
wait on them to get really strong and
closer together before I call. It could
be today or it could be another week or
so. She said he has his back against my
back somehow which has been giving me
major back pains.
She gave me some yoga like exercises to do
that will hopefully h\make him turn
around. If he don't she said I am in for
some major painful back labor. HELP
Also, my Group B strep came back positive.
She said it is inherited from parents and
I have it so she said its harmless to me
but it could cause little man to get an
infection or something when im in labor so
when I go to have him I have to be put on
antibiotics. Has anyone else had this?
It kind of freaks me out cause I don't
know much about it????

They'll give you antibiotics through your
iv when you go into labor. The antibiotics
will/should help prevent your baby from
contracting group b strep. He'll probably
be just fine. Women test positive for it
all the time. You'll be taken care of.

i tested postive also, dont worry its
nothing, i was worried also i was so
confused... all they will do is put you on
a .i.v which clears up the group strep so
by the time ur baby is there it wont be
down there anymore

Exactly what .laura said, it's common for
women to test positve with their group b
strep test.
Lets hope the little guy decides to turn
so you have a little easier labor! Good
luck, let us know if you take of to the
hospital! If you've got time of course!

I feel much better now. Iwhen I got home
earlier Iwas reading about it on the
internet and it was talking about being
life threatning for the infant and I was
SO worried. I feel better now, thanks
