Strep B Positive - Vent

Mobile: Strep B Positive - Vent

I am overwhelmed with all of the things that have been occurring recently with my pregnancy.

First, I find out the baby has an arrhythmia. Then I go for a Level II ultrasound and find out the baby's abdomen is measuring a few weeks behind. My stomach is also measuring small. I end up going for a follow up growth ultrasound several weeks later, and the baby's abdomen is still measuring a few weeks behind. I have to get weekly NSTs done.. and now I find out I'm Strep B Positive.

I am scared, overwhelmed, tired, and ready for this to be over. I am so concerned for the well being of my child.

DH keeps telling me that I need to stop being so negative and I need to start thinking more positvely, but it's so hard because it feels like it's one thing after another every time I go to the Dr.

Sorry, just wanted to vent a bit. I feel like I really can't talk to anyone IRL about this because they cannot relate and will not understand.

  • I can relate!  I'm getting induced today for the same thing.  I cried a lot (a LOT) when they said I need to deliver but a good night's sleep and continued wiggly baby helped enormously. 

    It will be ok.  Even if you (like me)

  • I can relate too.  I have had many ups and downs throughout this pregnancy and understand just wanting a clean bill of health.  Hang in there and "try" to think positively if you can.  There's nothing to worry about until there is.

  • I'm so sorry -- all the other stuff is kind of a big deal but the Strep B, I'm told, is totally NOT a big deal... they just give you and baby an ABX right away and all is well.

  • I'm so sorry you are going through all of this.  I can tell you from my own experience that the Strep B is the last thing you really need to spend any time worrying about.  As long as you get to the hospital 4 hours before your baby is born,
