women this choice if they choose to have antibiotics. We also give women

Hi,
This is a great question. There are choices for
you here.
You could ask for a further vaginal swab for GBS to
check your status at the end of your pregnancy. And if you test positive
you could decide whether or not you wanted antibiotics at all. They can

The international guidelines (Center of Disease
control, USA)
say that each pregnancy is to be treated separately unless you previously had a
strep B positive baby. Even then, while it is in the guidelines, it is bit of
guesswork as to whether you will be positive in the pres
Hi Nicola,
You just need to ask to have another low vaginal swab at around 36 weeks
gestation. It is possible that you will be negative this time. Yes you could
request that the doctor put the IV cannula somewhere less uncomfortable.
Also remember that you do have the option of refusing the anti

Current recommendations in Vic are to offer
screening at 35-37 weeks per the CDC evidence. It does appear to be the best
available evidence, far better than the risk-based approach of administering IV
ABS to a select group of women considered to be 'at-risk'. Women are

how about the fact that fetal circulatory system very different to

I haven't even thought about it! I would go with the fluid and equal
pressure theory. Being upside down in water at an adult (try it) does not
result in the same pressure as being upside down outside water.
Hi Listers,
Am forwarding this message that I received. Please reply direct to Tracey
if you can help.
She is also asking about any weekend programs that might be available
between Newcastle and Coffs Harbour.

I would take a punt at the even pressure of the fluid filled
uterus along with the baby's blood pressure adjusting naturally

When Debbie Cargile became pregnant with her first child
in 1999, she very much wanted a natural childbirth. After seeing a Seattle

Perhaps the pressure exerted on the
baby's head by the contracting uterus aids venous return and keeps the
blood from pooling in the brain?

With respect Jenny,
Im not sure that too many of the recommendations
out of the good old U.S of A could be described as 'best practice'.
Here is the NSW directive, it does however, also

I
think you are right Mary. But I think there is still some gravity, which
explains why the heaviest part, the head, most commonly ends up at the lowest
point.
