I'm sorry about the NICU. Just curious, did you have the Group B strep test done when you were pregnant? You may remember, my little guy was in the NICU for a week, but we never found out what caused the infection. I hope you had awesome NICU nurses like we did
Yes I did have the GBS test while pg and I was negative. The doctors are sort of dumbfounded by the whole thing. Their best guess is that I was one of the rare cases in which the test gives a false negative. Either that or I contracted GBS in the few weeks between the test and her birth.
I do remember your son was in the NICU. I remember praying for him. That's so strange that you never found out the cause of his infection. Aren't the NICU nurses fantastic? They literally taught us how to be parents on top of giving our baby incredible care and keeping her alive. They showed us how to breastfeed, change diapers, bath her, the whole nine yards. I am so thankful for them!
