in the UK we don't get tests for GBS, after DD was born the sent my placenta off for testing and found GBS growth on it, so this time i need IV anti-biotics in labour!

I really wish they would test for it here, I could be carrying it this time, then again maybe not!


Home birth, lucky you! I'd love one, but i've pushed my luck far enough this pregnancy. My consultant wanted me to go to the mainland at 38weeks and i've refused and am staying here. I swear he's more grey hairs since meeting me
 
I got tested for strep b - it was negative, which was nice.
yes, it's great that your midwife is having you make a hospital plan. sometimes life happens, and you need to be prepared. good!

i'm dreading more storms. I just hope our power comes back on soon...
 
The NHS in the UK don't do strep B tests. You can do it privately but I sent for a kit weeks ago and never heard back from them.
 
after having a really bad experience last time and DD not latching (she did once, but instantly projectile vommited the feed then refused to again, even after help from half a dozen different people) do you think I am mad to not have any bottles in???? I really want to BF this time
 
missmayhem, you can always buy bottles and return them if BF'ing goes well. I plan on exclusively BF'ing until baby goes to daycare at 12 weeks (but he will still get only pumped breastmilk). still, I want to have bottles around just in case something happens and he needs to take my breastmilk from a bottle. just in case. i'll return them if he doesn't use the smaller ones.
 
i've got a pump with a few bottles just no teats in the correct size, I just don't want temptation being put in my way. Been thinking about this a lot past few days and me and this baby have got to come first, i'm going to stay in the hospital I think for a few days, for support with BF'ing. the local hospital (local, reads only one on the island) has the highest BFing stats in the UK
 
Miss mayhem - honestly if you want to BF you will make it work, you might need a bit if help but there's loads out there if you know where to look. I have a pump and bottles but exclusively for BF - I have no formula as I know I'll never use it. But I'm a strong believer in BF.
 
GOt he GBS two Wednesdays ago and passed. Sounds stupid the nhs doesn't do it. It's only 1 q-tip!
We have 1 bottle in the house just in case of emergency and a random formula kit I was given at the doctors office. Don't plan on ever using it, just holding on to it in case of emergency. Going to donate it once bf is going smoothly.
Hope babee is doing great!
 
Had to share I bought these for my little men can't wait to get them in the mail next week!!
