midwife came round this morning to tell me that my urine test came back and i've got strep B, i am horrified, apparantly its common and i haven't done anything wrong, but i still feel like sh*t. she's stuck a bright yellow sticker on the front of my maternity notes so everyone can see it, and apparantly as soon as i go into labour i have to go straight in to have intravenous antibiotics and then again 4 hours later, then after baby's born i need to stay in for 48 hours to check that she's ok, as it can cause meningitis, septicaemia and pneumonia. anyone got any experience of it?
