I'm a bit upset tbh! Thanks for asking

I know it's all gonna be fine, but I have had bad thrush since day 1, I'm O neg blood group, and now I have group B strep to.
It's making me not enjoy my pregnancy anymore because I'm just thinking "what's gonna happen next?"
All stuff no one can do anything about and now my birth plan is out of the window to.

I know there's no real defenition for the following statement, but I just want a normal pregnancy!

At least baby is okay that's all I'm bothered about, it's just the thought that giving birth to her could make her seriously ill, I'm blaming myself and thinking too much about it I think...

Group B strep is nothing you have control over hun!! A LOT of women have it and don't even know it-thats why they do a test during pregnancy to check. I had group b strep with my 1st child...(Not sure with this one yet) and my son was born healthy!! They will put you on an antibiotic drip during your labour and delivery...and just do thorough check of baby once he/she is born! Chances are VERY low for baby to get it from you if its being properly treated with antibiotics during delivery. Hang in there...it will all be ok.

Im paying for my strep B test as its not standard procedure to have it done here so your lucky that they have picked it up. Try not to worry, easier said then done
