I had the GBS bacteria during the last pregnancy. I had to be in
hospital after my water broke even though there was no signs of labour
yet so that they can insert a line in me to start the antibiotic drip.
It was horrible. First it was on my right hand. Then it got blocked and
my hand was all swollen as the drip went into the surrounding tissues
instead of the blood vessels. So they had to reinsert the line on my
left hand! It was agonising. I couldn't even go to the loo! Plus it was
lunch time when that happened and your Papa had just gone to grab lunch
or something and I was supposed to carry my own lunch tray! I still have
the scar on my hands till today.
You can imagine how
hard I prayed this time that I am free from GBS. Two weeks ago, we did
the test and when I got the phone call, I broke out in sweat. When the
nurse said that the result was negative, I couldn't believe my ears!!
Praise God!!! Am so, so, so, thankful! ;-)
