AW: Full term!

Woot!  37 weeks today!  Hopefully Jacob will stay put for at least another week or two so I can finish up a few things, but really I would be prepared if he showed up now.  =)

Appointment with the midwife went great today.  Everything looked great - blood pressure still low, actually lost a pound this week (lol), and best of all I AM GBS NEG!  

So excited that I don't need the antibiotics this time.  Being hooked up to the IV when you are doing a med-free birth is such a pain!  With Sarah it was constantly getting in the way!  Midwife verified that I would only need a saline lock unless excessive bleeding, etc. makes extra fluids necessary.   Knock on wood - my very last pregnancy and birth has been and is shaping up to be just an overall wonderful experience. =)

    YAHOO! Way to go Dawn! So happy for you. :) I am hoping to be able to test negative as well. They don't think that is where my daughter got strep b spinal meningitis when she was 2 weeks old but my current OB is considering treating it as if this was the reason - she wants me on an IV antibiotic at delivery. I'm not happy with that thought!

    Even if you were positive - seems weird that your OB would want to treat you for something that happened 17 years ago regardless of test results (it isn't a persistent bacteria - which is why they test you within 4 weeks of your due date).  Not that being on an IV is THAT bad... it was just a nuisance.
