GBS Pos and Feeling Emotional

Lacie

Let me start by saying I understand just how crazy I sound! This pregnancy has made me sooooo emotional that it is really driving me insane 🤣

For starters I am over being pregnant. Last week my son was measuring over 7lbs at 35+5 and was in the 92nd percentile for overall size, over 99th percentile for abdomen size, 85th percentile for femur length, etc. So a very large baby. My daughter was born at 37+4 (water broke naturally at 37+3 and she came 26 hours later) and was almost 9 lbs, my doctor said he believes this baby to be a decent bit bigger than his sister (🙃😬). I'm hot all the time, everything hurts, and overall I'm just really ready for this baby to be in my arms instead of my uterus (as I'm sure we all are lol).

Wednesday I got my GBS swab at 36+2 and today I got the results back that they are positive. I did not have GBS with my daughter so this is all new to me. I KNOW that it isn't a huge deal, that 25% of people giving birth will test positive during pregnancy, and that after the antibiotics are administered there is only a 1 in 4,000 chance that my baby could get sick from the GBS. However knowing this in my head and now experiencing it are two different things.

I'm honestly not even sure what I'm looking to get out of this post, maybe some positive reassurance that everything is going to be fine? My husband isn't worried at all and just keeps telling me that I'm worrying over nothing (which in my brain I agree with, but I'm not seeing things clearly right now lol). Or maybe I'm just looking for some kind of interaction with people that are just as over this pregnancy and ready for our little ones as I am 🤣.
