hi mama's
i just found out yesterday that i tested pos for GBS and this has really caught me off guard.. it's about the only aspect to pregnancy/birthing i haven't researched, so i suppose it's murphy's law.. *sigh....
i'm off to my next OB appt tomorrow morning and am going to ask if i can be retested next week.. have done some research on-Line since yesterday and found out that there can be lots of false-positives with the GBS test.. ALSO i believe there are some natural remedies that can be explored, which i am open to trying because i so don't want to be connected to an IV and not only that, ABX can be SOOOOOO harmful to babe & mama, killing all good bacteria leading to further complications down the road..
has anyone had any experience with this sort of situation? it's really got me down to be honest , as it caught me really off guard.. i've been totally healthy and strong thru-out my pregnancy, it's been rather uneventful TBH, and i'm trying not to get stressed out about the potential interventions that could arise from this..
any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated!! thanks in advance x
