31 weeks and GBS+

Still pregnant… 31 weeks now (out of 40). I had a midwife appointment today. Everything looks good, except apparently I tested GBS+ months ago and the old OBs NEVER mentioned it to me. My midwives were discussing this today and casually mentioned it to me. Since I didn't know about it, they were a little shocked. She said my chart showed that my urine tested positive back in June. Were the OBs ever going to tell me??? So glad I fired them.

The GBS status means that I will need IV (or hep lock) antibiotics during labor and delivery. Not a huge deal, but a little more complicated than I was anticipating.

Also I had my second gestational diabetes screening today. I checked my own sugars right before they drew my blood and it didn’t seem high to me… I have to wait a day or two before I have official results though. I am praying that I’m in the clear and can continue to just eat sensibly. GD would mean a lot of extra appointments for me (including ultrasounds and non-stress tests). It’s hard enough managing the kiddo for the regular amount of visits, if I have to have all the extra stuff I’ll have to drag him to multiple appointments each week. Not fun.

My recent craft project…
fish for the upcoming swap. Each set has 5 fish with magnetic heads and one fishing pole (complete with string and magnetic “hook”). They are turning out super cute.

Sleep stuff is going well for all of you who know our current issues. We may have this kid on track after all...
