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.
