3rd Trimester

post ob appt update

so I went to my ob today after reporting that I thought I had lost my mp... first of all, speculums are torture devices. I feel like I'm having contractions now, and my woohoo hurts so bad I have limited mobility >:(

My dr told me that I look ok, cervix is still good, but then checked a swab he took and gave me a prescription for amoxicillin because of strep B. I just finished a round of antibiotics for strep b like a week and a half ago.... wtf?! I hate taking pills, especially antibiotics.... and I'm really not clear on why strep b is so bad? he mentioned it having something to do with pre term labor, but didnt explain.

I also asked him about why I feel like poo all the time, being dizzy and over all exhausted. He then explained that I have low blood pressure and that every time I eat my baby takes all my sugar which makes me hypoglycemic....

greattttt. that explains why I've been eating and craving candy, especially chocolate, like a psycho.

ugh. 

is it march yet? 

Re: post ob appt update

  • Eating the candy probably explains the hypoglycemia, actually. If you eat "quick" sources of sugar, you'll burn it off quickly and crash. If you eat complex carbs, it'll last longer and you'll have more consistent insulin secretion.

  • If I'm remembering correctly from one of my books, a lot of women have GBS while pregnant and can be passed to the baby during delivery and is very dangerous for the baby.  I'd double check with your DR.
  • You need to do some research on GBS. Most of the time if turns out fine, but it can be very serious for the baby. They found it in my urine at 7w. Since then, I have been on amoxicillan 3 times for UTI's, and since I have tested positive so many times for GBS, I am now on a daily antibiotic to prevent pre-term labor.. I (and you too) will also need an IV during labor to help prevent it getting passed to the baby.
