Group B Strep (GBS)

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! ;-)
