OB visit - 9th times
What it measures. Although maternal and infant infections during birth and the postpartum period are rare, they can be very serious. Group B (beta-hemolytic) streptococcus (GBS) is a bacteria that has been identified as being one of the main causes of these rare infections. This organism is normally present in the vagina or rectum in about one of every four women. In nonpregnant woman, GBS rarely causes any problems. During pregnancy and birth, however, the bacteria can possibly cause an infection in the mother's uterus or in the baby. Out of 100 women who have the bacteria, less than 1% of the infants will actually get an infection from it.
New guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that all pregnant women receive a test for GBS at 35-37 weeks. This involves swabbing the area around the opening of the vagina and the rectum to screen for the presence of the bacteria. If detected, the mother will be offered antibiotics while in labor.
What it tells you. The effectiveness of the GBS test is dependent upon both the performance of the test and on the processing at the lab. One study found that it was about 70% sensitive (positive test, bacteria present) and 90% specific (negative test, no bacteria present). However, this means that about 30% of women who have the bacteria will test negative. The latest guidelines from the CDC recommend that all pregnant women be tested for GBS and women who are positive be offered antibiotic treatment during labor.

Mangolicious.. Fruitlicious!
Waktu balik ke indo bulan Maret lalu, sayang banget pas engga musim mangga harumanis, padahal gue pengen banget makan tu buah. Memang mangga harumanis salah satu buah favourite gue selain jeruk & longan. Setelah "pesta" jeruk mandarin di sini beberapa bulan lalu (sekarang tinggal sisa doang, kadang suka jelek-jelek alias kering or cepet busuk) waktu lagi musim tuh harganya cuma $1.50/kg, sekarang on average harganya $4.00/kg atau yang bagus-bagus banget (udah dipilihin) bisa sampe $9.00/kg
