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.

I'm not even sure abx are the right thing to do - there are risks to having them, as much as not.
Aaah, the beauty of motherhood. Choices that are damned if you do damned if you don't, and you're fucked no matter what you choose. It sucks, really, but its all part and parcel of motherhood.
