We are getting ready to buy our first home, moving in June, baby arrives in July... We are ready!!
16 days until we find out baby's gender... 18 days until we can hopefully finalize buying our first house...
But on another note... I've got some 'bad' news from my OB a few days ago... they are saying I tested positive for Group B Strep which means a UTI... now I don't have the symptoms and the other OB I switched from had tested it too but I was negative... so it makes me wonder if there was a mistake or 'mistake'... if I would be like many others, I would trust the OB... not me for sure!! I went ahead told them no for the antibiotics, which I feel is just making them money, but does not benefit me or my baby, but it would be rather harmful... I also told them I will go ahead and get tested again somewhere else, so I went to a physicians office last Friday, results to come tomorrow... let's see what happens... all week I've been drinking cranberry juice, the REAL stuff, not the concentrate mixture on the 'juice shelves', took herbal supplements, had my bladder tea and drank lots and lots of water... tomorrow I will re-evaluate... but considering I'm allergic to penicillin, my options of taking any antibiotics are a bit more limited...
Aside of being tested negative before, what threw me off a bit too is that I had mentioned considering a birth center option to my OB, and all of a sudden this 'infection' shows up out of nowhere and if I would just believe them, I would not be able to give birth at a birth center anymore, their procedure is giving women with Group B Strep an IV during labor, containing antibiotics... I'll keep you updated!!
