I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant with with my first baby. I’ve been finding lockdown quite difficult and I’m sad about everything I’ve missed out on in this pregnancy, but appreciating the time I’ve had with DH working from home. I recently found out I have Group B Strep and it has made me feel worried about labour and my baby being ok. I’ve never really looked forward to childbirth and already felt quite daunted with the coronavirus situation. With the addition of Group B Strep and worrying about getting the antibiotics in time I am feeling pretty overwhelmed. The midwives don’t see it as that big a deal but the only people I know who have had experiences with Strep B have ended up with sick babies (however they weren’t given the antibiotics as they hadn’t been tested.) I would love any reassurance that it’s possible to have a good, positive birth despite the current situation... right now I just feel like I’m focusing on the negatives.
