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.
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.
No, the test isn't painful. And most women don't even know they have the infection.
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!
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 :)
