I know what you mean. But it honestly wasn't bad when I got it with my first and read up on it. My daughter was born 9lbs 6oz as healthy as can be :)

Oh wow. That would kind of be a bummer.. lol I haven't had the greatest pregnancy so far. So, I hope I don't have an infection!
No, the test isn't painful. And most women don't even know they have the infection.
It is a bacterial infection that can pass from mother to baby during birth. If positive they give you meds during labor. I had it my first pregnancy and with this my third it was negative, I took it two weeks ago. They just pass a swab and you get the results your next appointment.
I forget what it's for exactly. But my doctor just took a cotton swab and rubbed it around the inside of my vagina. Really quick and simple.
