and blast. I had a sample done from The Doctor's Laboratory, 2 GBS swabs by ECM, the most effective method of detection, and I am still positive for GBS.
Also i phoned the local hospital to see if they did sensitivities when they cultured it the first time, and they did. My strain is sensitive to cephalexin, and a bunch of -cillin drugs, but NOT clindamycin or erythromycin....
But the drug they want me to have in labour is clindamycin (because I am allergic to penicillin).
WHY ?!
Damn, people. I really had hoped I'd gotten rid of it with all those antibiotics I had, but the stuff comes back, quickly. Damn damn damn.

The % chance of baby getting GBS disease is 0.5%. The risk of uterine rupture during VBAC is also 0.5%. Why is the one more acceptable than the other? There are risks to antibiotic treatment like baby maybe having asthma etc later on, and also thrush/yeast afterwards, interfering with breastfeeding...not to mention having all your gut and skin flora wiped out, possibly needlessly...
