The midwife visit

Beah, our midwife, came to visit this morning to see the house and check Colette. Everything is fine. The baby that was posterior before my trip to Israel, is now anterior (what's called LOA - Left Occipital Anterior) which is the best position for birth. The baby is high though, so it could still turn into a less favorable position. We will continue to check it every week. Beah said that she think the baby will not be early, and that we are shooting for the due date of early July.
She also said that the legs of this baby are very long - so long that she was worried at some point that it is breech, which is why she wanted to do an vaginal examination today to make sure it is OK. Next visit is Tuesday 8am. Tuesday we will also do the Group B Streptococcus (GBS) test. Between 10% to 30% of women carry this bacteria, without symptom. If present, the standard procedure is to give the laboring women antibiotics IV. Colette hates this idea, and we hope to be clear. Shabat Shalom and see you soon.
