Good news!
Hi,
Had a check up with my Dr today and my test results had come back, they show the antibiotics did the trick and the Group B Strep has gone which is fab news! It reduces down the risk of me going into premature labour which is one of the things I was worried about. They are going to test me again at 36 weeks as it can come back again but as long as I have the all clear I won't need the antibiotics during labour.
Typically I have just posted the forms off to go to the other hospital that is further away but has a special care unit, think I will still keep it as that there though as I don't want to tempt fate too much!
My blood pressure is also better, it has been pretty low at 90/55 the last few appointments I have had but today it was 105/60 which is good. Not surprised it was higher actually after having the MIL over for easter she always stresses me out lol!
Weight wise I am about 3lb lighter than I was at this stage with Bren which I am pleased about, now i just have to stop eating so much chocolate so I can keep the extra pounds as baby weight!
I see the midwife next week, and I will see her every two weeks now until Jacob arrives! Not long to go, I can't believe it! I've bought myself a breastfeeding pillow today so that I can hopefully make a better attempt at bf this time. I struggled to get Brendan into a comfy position so I am hoping this will help, plus I am hoping this one will be a bit more interested then Bren was!
Hope everyone else is well, I really do have to take some bump pics and put them on facebook before the bump turns back into a jelly belly!!

Don't go there with the chocolate I still have bikini fear but it doesn't seem quite strong enough tyo stop me reaching for the step ladder and getting down yet another cadbury's easter egg
I want to be thin i just want to be able to eat chocolate and drink wine too!
lol El, if only the want to be thin was enough huh?! x
As for weight, I've put on a pound or four since being away in Wales, far too much eating out and drinking in! lol
Take care x
i had one of those bf pillows although didnt get around to using as ended up feeding fin bottles in hospital for 2 days then didnt try again! really hope jacob feeds well - you'll be calmer about everything and your mum will be there to take care of bren so you can spend time feeding xx
