I am 40 weeks today and went to the doctors earlier today and he checked my cervix and said that I was 1cm dialated and he told me that he did a stripping of the membranes.. I am Group B strep positive, and of course I like to get online and research things, so when I did.. I read stories about other women who were GBS positive and their doctors did the stripping of the membranes and there were babies who were stillborn and others who had complications shortly after birth such as breathing problems and so on, Supposedly due to the doctor stripping the membranes... This is my first pregnancy and I am very worried about this, but I am also trying to not stress myself out about it, because I dont think the doctors would do anything that would cause harm to the baby.. I just need some reassurance. So If anyone has any advice or anything I would be SOOO appreciative. Or if anyone knows the odds or precentile of these things actually occurring, that would be great. Thank you for your time!
