GBS Testing

yay! Umm yeah..so I got this swab done today. I feel like I've had way too much feeling, and fingers/objects up that area. Granted this was not 'in' and was fast but I guess I feel like some test subject with all the trans-vaginal u/s's and manual checks that even the smallest thing in that area bothers me.

I waited almost 2hrs today to get in to see her today. It was not verbally announced, but the doctor she shares the office with was giving H1N1 shots today and instead of the usual 2 doctors in, they had in all 3 and were using 1 of her exam rooms so she was down to 2, which slowed things down drastically. After I finally got into an exam room Tasha decided she had to pee. oiy!

Anywho, everything seems normal, blood pressure low but I guess that's normal for me. I'm slightly amused though that the 2 lbs I'd lost last time had now come back. I went from 60 to 63kg. Ahh well such is life, it came on, it will come off. I did get one shocker, the NP was typing in my blood pressure on my chart and says "So you are having a c-section?". I'm sure my eyes bugged out when she asked and I was like "Huh?? Umm not to my knowledge??" She then laughed and said "oh there is nothing here saying you are, I just ask bc you should have a GBS today and if you are having one, we won't need to do it"

gah! yeah never start a conversation with "So you are having a c/s?" to a pregnant woman.

The other thing that sort of bugged me was when I was joking with Dr. E about Christmas dinner in the hospital and she says "Oh don't worry we will start soon doing things to encourage labour." Since she was behind, I did not get time to ask her to elaborate on what she meant exactly by that? I don't care how long it takes for me to go into labour, I'd rather just let nature take it's course TBH.

The other interesting bit of information was that when I mentioned my retained tissue thing, she said I could have had a 2nd lobe and if so it would have been very easy to miss that a 'piece' was missing. I'm not sure if having that happen once (if it was a 2nd lobe) would mean it would happen again, and we did not get a chance to talk about any measures we could take (an u/s before I left), so I'll have to ask next week. S

She did offer me a script for Motillium before I left the hospital and would make sure I saw an LC. I appreciate the pro-activeness and having the 'script but am really hoping the only reason why I have milk issues with Tasha was the tissue.
