Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hi, Martha and others in Florida: sending my love and blessings for a safe ride through Frances' fury. I have amassed much information about group B strep: statistics, conventional, and natural approaches. From what I have seen, once you test positive, and this can even be in a previous pregnancy, you are much more likely to receive a label and thus antibiotics during labor. Work with your primary care provider to re-test and negotiate antibiotic use keeping the risk factors in mind. Risk factors include: having a previous baby who was GBS-positive; having a urinary tract infection testing positive for GBS any time during this pregnancy; labor before 37 weeks' gestation (LMP); rupture of membranes prior to 37 weeks' gestation; rupture of membranes more that 18 hours before birth; or mom has a temperature of 100.4° or higher while in labor. Please email me off-list if anyone wants handouts; there are 4 word documents and since they aren't Ayurvedic in nature I didn't want to clutter up the website. One of the protocols does suggest use of Young Living Ess. Oils! Namaste, Adrienne Thanks for your blessings Ade, we are ready for the campout adventure here for a few days and expect to be out of power possibly starting Sunday anytime. BTW, I'd love a copy of your notes. Thanks for sharing this info, so much to learn. - Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hi Adrienne, I would love the info you have on this subject, when you get a chance! thanks rebecca Better to request off this site in the future, I set a bad example Marti PS, I'm going to leave messages unmoderated for a few days. My job has been just about cleaning up extra attachment/words, maybe we can all do our own for a while till the group is bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 me too, this subject has come up at our birth support network meeting in Portland, OR. Vicky York Marti: are you swimming or blowing away over there in Florida? Vicky York Hi All, forgive the non-ayurveda ... this weekend has definitely been drop the formalities time. Thanks for your concerns -- lucky here, this morning were the deepest puddles but the drainage ditch never overflowed. Sandbagging was unnecessary, but a good exercise in community etc. Winds were WONDERFUL, not too heavy, tho they gave the trees a good pruning and downed a few trees in the area onto power lines. Had fun camping in with my Vero Beach friends here who now have much work to do... but may be in better shape than they feared. PS; I think that to send messages off group to someone you have to cut and paste their email into one of your personal emails. Is there an easier way? Love, Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
