Hi all,
on my last pregnancy while in labour, i had a terrible time, i only remember bits but what i remember was shaking uncontrolably and falling in and out of sleep, i had an epidural so was not able to feel much, but i remember there was alot of doctors and mws round me.
Anyhows managed to give birth to my beautiful baby boy after doctors and mws sorted me out, few hours later i was told my baby and me had to have IV antibiotics for at least 7 days (which meant staying in hospital).
When i asked the mw on the ward why? she said it was because i had an infection during labour called strep b, but she never told me anything about it, it was just "you've got it and that is it" sort of thing.
Now that i am pregnant again, i am so worried that i will have the same experience giving birth to this baby, have looked it up on google, but would really like to know if anybody has experienced the same.
please help.
