Currently 33wks pregnant with DC2 and just had a routine midwife appointment - with a midwife I have never seen before who advised that I have Group B Strep - which apparently showed up in a urine test back in March although nobody had told me until now!! When I asked what that meant she said 'Nothing really, you'll just get some antibiotics during labour.' Clearly she hadn't read my notes as I am most likely to have an ELCS due to EMCS with DC1. She then tried to talk me into a VBAC despite having no knowledge of what I - or my DS - went through last time but that's a whole other story!
Perhaps more importantly, she also advised that I have 1+ protein, 2+ ketones and 4+ glucose in my urine and said 'OOh that's a bit worrying, we don't like ketones. Have you had lots of sweets today.' The answer is no - I had some fruit and a mocha (choc/coffee thing) for breakfast and a sandwich, crisps and 3 glasses of water at lunch. So, should I be worried? I did ask what the ketones / glucose meant but she just said she would call me tomorrow to let me know if I need to go to the day assessment unit at the hospital.
Basically, I had sudden onset of PE with DC1 at 33+2 and then spent 3 weeks in and out of hospital being tested / monitored until failed induction at 36+1 resulting in a crash section. We are both fine but it wasn't much fun and I honestly thought I might have avoided any problems this time around - being back in hospital would be a nightmare as DS is on;y 18mths old. So, I am now panicking a bit.... Annyone have any insight into what these levels might mean? Thanks so much!
