Complications during Pregnancy?

I've had pregnancy induce hypertension with both of my pregnancies. I had to be induced early with both, but they came out very healthy and unaffected. As far as #3. that is a good result! You want that to be positive because it means you've been exposed to the virus at one time during your life, and you now carry the antibodies that will protect you and your baby. It's like chicken pox, you get it once and carry the antibodies the rest of your life to protect you from getting it again. Testing positive for group B strep is incredibly common. i tested positive for my second pregnancy. It's not a big deal, they just give you one dose of antibiotics during your labor and that's it! Just make sure they know when you're admitted into the hospital so they can start the iv meds. As far as losing weight, I wouldn't recommend it, but only your dr can make that call. If you were eating bad foods before pregnancy and you switch to a healthy diet now, you may lose weight, but it's more likely you will just not gain extra weight. Most drs rec commend obese patients only gain 5-10 lbs, but if you are eating healthy and exercising, you may not gain even that much. You're going to be great! Congaratulations!
