36 weeks appointment

mickey · Oct 26th, 2007, 12:29 PM

had my 36 weeks appoinment the day before yesterday.

baby is enganged head down and with bum to the front

I asked my GP how likely it is they turn again once they are enganged and she said normally they stay in the same position once they engange!

so I am ready for birth

Hiya, I have been away for a while, my mum flew in and have been trying to establish some sort of routine around here.

Anyway, I have my 36 week check up next monday and that's when I have to have a pelvic exam to see if I have streptococcus B or not. Did you have to do that at your 36 week check up?

Hi Ishtar, I thought already haven't seen u around for a while.

I did not have a pelvic exam and I never heard u can have a streptococcus B infection in your pelvis?

The NHS does not routinely check for strep B. One of the UK pregnancy magazines is running a campaign to get them to start checking everyone, but it's not really happening yet.

So I had my check-up this morning, I will know in a few days if I have the strep B or not, if I have it they have to hook me up on some antibiotics during birth so the baby doesn't get infected.

He checked me while he was down there and I'm 3 cm dilated and 100% effaced. Yikes!

I just looked at the doc like a deer in headlights, but he told me that it means I could go in 2 days or I could go 2 weeks over, so it's not really an indication as to when I'll give birth. But it was quite a shock to hear.

Everything else was fine. I just hope I don't go into labor too soon, i'm not ready!
