Today was my first "weekly" doctor visit and the last of my rotation through the practice. I have met all 4 women and like them all, so rotating was a good thing. If I hadnt liked one (or more!) I might have been a bit more leery about the weeks to come.
As usual, all is good. Baby is doing well and appears to be happy right where he/she is - no signs at all that I am anywhere near delivering. While I am glad that the baby is happy, I do hope that he/she is aware that the lease is up October 8th and after that point I will be much less of a happy customer.
The primary thing the doctor did today was test for Group B Streptococcus (GBS).
Dawn, now that you're just a few weeks away from delivering your beautiful baby, The GBS bacteria live in 15 to 40 percent of otherwise healthy adult women and can harm the baby if he or she comes into contact with them during birth. Next week they will let me know if I have this bacteria (which is farily common) and if I do they treat for it (via IV) in Labor & Delivery.
