What's new: I saw a new doctor this week that assured me that the 30 lbs I have gained are completely normal (compared to my previous doctor) and I was tested for Group B Strep. I had it with my first pregnancy so I'm praying I don't have to deal with the stress of GBS this time. We get the results at my 38 week appointment.
