I have an unfortunate bacteria present in my birth canal that will never be eradicated called Group B Strep. According to my consultant, it was the cause of the premature rupture of my waters at 21 weeks and the resultant loss of my first baby - a little boy weighing 15 oz. During my second pregnancy, I had to take 75mg asprin daily and for the first five days of every calendar month up until the baby was born, antibiotics to control the bacteria. Then during labour - I was induced as my consultant did not want me to go over my due date for fear of anything happening - I was given huge doses of antiobiotics to protect the baby as it was coming down the birth canal. Once my daughter was born, she had to be given intravenous antibiotics for the first five days of her life. I am pregnant again (third time in 2 1/2 years), and unfortunately have to go through the same routine again. Does anyone else have tol go through the same during pregnancy and labour?
