I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and from the beginning I've been set on having a MLBU birth. I've just got back from my appointment with the midwife and a swab I had a couple of weeks ago shows I've tested positive for group b strep. This means I have to labour on the delivery suite instead, and I'm unreasonably disappointed! I'm so glad I found out early, so baby will have the necessary antibiotics, but I had my heart set (stupidly).
Can you share your experiences? I'm so worried I'll be stuck on a bed, hooked up to the IV and unable to move around etc. I was planning a water birth in the unit, so have only really researched that, and now worked myself up to not wanting a dry-land birth. Any info will be gratefully received!
