Avatar f tn s just something you will have to get through so just try to stay positive and calm. I had a great delivery with my first. I had her at 38 weeks 6 days and my labor was about 6 hours. I didn't tear and we were both healthy. I'm 19 weeks with my second and I'm not worried. Which you'd think I would be since I know the pain of labor already and what comes afterwards. But having your baby in your arms makes you forget everything you went through.
Avatar f tn I almost whent into labor at 26weeks because i had that. Took the meds and at my next app (35weeks) i will be tested again if positive she said i will get an iv with med during delivery I'm not to worried since after the meds my contractions stoped. One tip drink lots of water.
Avatar f tn Dr said I will probably have a really fast delivery and that when you test positive, you should get antibiotics 4 hours prior to delivery so what happens if I don't make it in time to the hospital to have 4 hours?

Avatar n tn My regular sex partner for the last 10 years is HIV negative. Is it still possible for me to be positive because of a single possible exposure before that. 3. Is it possible for a child to get to the age of 6 with no symptoms at all. Thank you for your help again. I just need a rational thinker here because I I am going crazy with worry and not thinking straight.
Avatar f tn U just have to stay positive there are risks with any surgical procedure but remember u have been through this twice already u and baby will be fine I'm a ftm and I may have to have a c section and it scares me to death but I just keep thinking that millions of women have them everyday and are fine so stay positive and everything will work out for the best best wishes
Avatar f tn Anyone else test gbs positive in this pregnancy or a previous pregnancy? How was the outcome? I still don't even really know for sure what it is..
Avatar f tn I tested positive as well and I am due Friday. I have stressed so much about this. Doctor just said I will be getting an iv with antibiotics before delivery. And has not really explained it. So I Google it and just scared myself.
Avatar f tn Last week at my 36 week checkup my doctor did the test for Strep B. I got a call saying it came back positive and that I'll need to be on antibiotics during labor. But that's about all I know about it...does anyone have any info about it. What exactly is it? What causes it? Should I be worried? Will I always have it with every pregnancy? How big of a danger is it to my child? Any info will be helpful!
Avatar n tn Yes, HIV+ people can have HIV- children. Your doctor should tell you what to do for this to happen. My understanding is that basically you should be on HAART at the time of delivery and avoid breastfeeding.
Avatar f tn Not sure what you're asking. Once a person is HIV+, they will always be positive. A positive person who has unprotected intercourse with ANYONE, pregnant or not...can infect that person. Having unprotected sex with a positive person is always a risk, but will not DEFINITELY result in that person getting infected. Does that help?

Avatar f tn For instance i got a delivery in the work, was a cardboard box with some books inside. On the side of the box was 2 small splash marks, which were red and look like blood. Im positive i washed my hands immedialtely after touching the box, however my mind tells me otherwise! I have small cuts on my hands, knuckles due to constantly washing my hands. I have seen the Doctor about OCD and she is referring me to a Psychologist. Could i have been at risk from HIV or is this my OCD?
Avatar f tn I was positive. Had my baby 1 month ago. My doctor said I was suppose to get two rounds of antibiotics as soon as my water broke. Unfortunately I was unable to get both. My labor happened so fast I only got one round. So when baby was born she was exposed to the bacteria. She was on antibiotics herself for a week. She also had a bowel movement before delivery so they weren't 100% sure which caused her to get sick. But as long as your doctors know your positive you should be just fine!

Avatar f tn At a year, a false positive, you wouldn't get a false negative this late.
Avatar n tn I feel pretty versed in HIV, and have concluded that I had a false positive but I am still terrified. Anxiety is def. wrecking me - my dr said to retest in 3 months. 40 YO female- HSV2+ Exposures: 11.17 condom broke during a one night stand that I DEEPLY regret- he claims he is STD/ Drug free - I do not know anything about him. 11.30 protected vaginal sex-and oral with ejaculation in mouth- no sores or cuts in my mouth 12.6 protected sex and oral for quick second- no ejac.
