Yup, exactly what Ali has said, maybe I should've gone Into more detail. You don't even feel It, they use a Q-tip and juss give you a quick swipe up In there and then rub your booty hole with It, doesn't get sticked Inside that hole, lol. It takes like 5 secs to do and then your done!

It's a type of bacterial Infection that can be found In your vag or rectum and can get passed to baby during delivery. What the doctors will do, Is they will swab your vag and rectum. It's very rare, but also a possibility so they test for It juss In case.

More Info about It can be found here:

I literally had one bi-weekly appt. then started my weekly's at 35 weeks. Nothin' was different for me, juss the usual until I hit 35 weeks then I did the Strep-B Test and then back to the usual.

I started having 2 week visits at 28 weeks, but I guess every doc is different.
