I had my monthly OB appointment today. I got some disturbing news. I seem to have group strep b and I got it because I had a urinary tract infection about a month ago. According to the internet "When you are pregnant and have group B strep, your baby could get the germs from you during delivery and get sick. Infected babies need treatment. Your baby will be kept in the hospital some extra days for close watching (observation) if your doctor thinks the baby is infected with strep. Blood tests will be done to see if your baby has group B strep. If your baby has this germ, the doctor will give the baby antibiotics."
So, this appointment was not a very positive one for me. However I did hear her heartbeat. The doc said it was about 140 beats per minute.
I feel like I'm such a bad mom. My poor baby has to literally fight for her life because I have so many things wrong with me. So not fair to her.
Please pray for my baby. I want her to be born healthy and strong. I love her.
