Incognito in Pregnancy Week by Week: Second Trimester

After delivery

Hey, yall. So I was gbs positive. I did receive antibiotics in labor. Now my baby is 8 weeks old. I get sooooo scared every time I go to the bathroom, have to change a pad, even when I shower! My hands are literally raw from washing. I know it's mostly due to my PPA but I'm just so worried about giving her strep now...

Bathing baby

Is there any precautions I need to take when washing my baby? Is it unsafe to place her tub inside the bath, should I avoid shower heads etc.

When should I go to hospital?

Hi, I found out that I have strep b a couple of months ago. I’m currently 29 weeks pregnant and would like to know when should I go to the hospital? As soon as my contractions start or when my water breaks? I don’t want to be sent back home if I’m not ready.

How long do you have to stay in hospital with GBS?

Does anyone know how long you are expected to stay in hospital after delivery with GBS? Have heard some mixed things. Will ask my midwife when I see her but that isn’t for a few weeks. Thanks ☺️

GBS positive and my OB prescribed oral antibiotics Amox. I've been seeing posts of people getting IV antibiotics right before delivering only. Has anyone been given oral antibiotics prior?

Worries about taking antibiotics while pregnant. Currently 28 weeks pregnant. Just want to hear everyone else experience. Thank you!
