happy feelings.

i rang my midwife yesterday to get the get the results of my strep B test that i had done. when i was pregnant we found out i had strep B and that i would need anti-biotics when i went into labour. strep B is very harmful to the new born but has not effect on the mother.

strep B tests are not routine here and i really think they should be. i only found out because i went to the hospital with abdominal pain when i was pregnant with her.

anyway it meant that as soon as labour started with jorja i had to go to the hospital asap to start the anti-biotics. they made me feel really sick and it was all a bit of a blur and very stressful.

when i went into this pregnancy i prayed to god that he would protect me from this stress and that i didnt want strep B for this pregnancy. i wanted to be able to labour in my own way in a relaxed environment.

the only way this could happen is if the test can back negative this time.

its hard to explain but you can have strep B for one pregnancy and not the other of you might always have it.

anyway i got the phone call i had been waiting for yesterday........... it was NEGATIVE! what an answer to prayer. i am so excited this time round as i am able to let my body do what it needs to without intervention.

so yeah very excited!

happy, happy, happy!
