I have to say I don't like the potty shot I got, I don't really see a penis but I don't see girl parts either. Sorry I couldn't break the cycle.

Sending you a BIG hug, congratulations on your gorgeous little man. xxxx

I am sorry you didn't hear girl. I promise you it will be ok xx

DOH! That's right - you're in Norway! Where my cousins are from. :)

Group B strep is VERY dangerous if you deliver and baby gets an infection. I had a friend who had to be taken to Chapel Hill (2.5 hrs away - very specialized hospital) where her baby spent over a month and nearly died (she didn't know she had it). I had group B strep last time and I got to the hospital at 7 CM. They rushed to get a bag of antibiotics in my IV...everything was fine with my baby! Very scared of it after that!

I had a friend here who was not treated and her baby ended up getting sick and running a fever that resulted in quite a bit of damage. Her newborn ended up blind and deaf, but was not born that way.

I had it last time as well and was treated during labor.

They must check it in somehow - I just never hear about it!

Ah, just read this: Is my unborn baby at risk of early-onset GBS (group B streptococcus) infection? - Health questions - NHS Choices

So it isn't routinely screened for here.

It is common, and from what I understand many people have given birth while they have it and had no problems. But the babies who pick it up and become infected can have serious complications.
