Responsibility

As a blogger, i have the responsibility to update the blog whenever a problem is solved, so that readers won't feel that this blog is all about negativity, problems and cursing.

So, here it is.

The recent test result came out negative. I am a negative strep B virus now! Alhamdullilah praise to Allah the healer and the kindest.

After two more weeks waiting, the ob/gyn today confirmed that IT's ALL GONE! HOwever, for precaution, she'll put me on antibiotic treatment during labor. From what I read, I am still a carrier, it's just that the virus is temporarily fought off.

We also saw Anna's paed (which might be Little Adam/Ali paed as well or not) and was told that the baby might or might not get it. The Man shook his head and said, it didn't mean anything! We asked (this is actually a conversation outside an elevator, not really a consultation session in his room) whether he might want to treat the baby on IV drip of antibiotic, he said with a look like mulling over on whether clueless or telling the parents the truth, maybe yes or maybe not, depending on how the baby responded after it is delivered.

So there are more than one school of thoughts on how the virus is affecting the baby during labor. I can read on and research more, few doctors we met, specialist or not gave different opinion. An ob/gyn at newzealand said if the virus is found in the urine traces, it means that the population is bigger rather than if it is found in a vaginal swab. Which makes sense.

Conclusively, there is no standard treatment since the effect of the virus to the newborn varies.

HOwever, if 30% of the death of the newborn due to lung disorder is caused by this virus (well, gotta think, which site i found said this huh?) shouldn't this virus appearance in the medical world be much more significant than this? People in UK is signing petition urging the hospital to start testing preggy moms on this Virus. My ob/gyn is saying its airborne and its becoming much common now.What caused it to resurfaced in a Mom's body? Low immunity ? Stress level ?

Is it the same case as the virus causing chicken pox that resurface as Herpes Zoster whenever one's immunity is low due to stress level?

So many questions unanswered. Macam x Files lah pulookk..

Whatever the treatment is for my newborn, i believe that it will be born safely. I'm praying for the best, 24 hours monitoring and we can go home. Amin.
