Group B Strep

Anyone else had Group B Strep found after a vaginal swab?

Had thrush and was treated at the time the swab was taken, all cleared up now but just got a call to say this was found too and to let my midwife know. Google can be a bit scary, so just looking for anyone else’s experience and what it entailed for them, didn’t have this with my first LO at all

I had this with my first and had to be treated in all my births with antibiotics

They need to be administered atleast 6 hours before delivery or baby has to stay for 5 days to have a course of them

I had it with my first. They advise you have antibiotics via a drip during labour at least 4 hours prior to baby being born. We didn’t get to the hospital in time for the 4 hour time scale. I had them anyway during labour but baby and I had to stay in for 3 nights after he was born so they could monitor him

Ah that’s… worrying 😅 Thank you!

As worrying as it may seem, it’s always better to know about it in advance so they can have the antibiotics and plan ready x

that’s a good point, thank you ❤️

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

(If you’re going to reply please keep your responses respectful and polite.)
