Tough call there. The antibiotics were likely for Group B Streptococcus, meaning during prenatal screening she tested positive. I work in the field and we see some terrible outcomes from GBS (and other bacterial) infections such as blood stream infections, neonatal infections to hysterectomies and death. I've seen cases where moms have symptoms at home but they simply chalk them up to "what happens after giving birth". So whatever choice you make, tell your wife to listen to her body.
- Brendinooo 9y agoI think you're right. I say "we would have gone home" pretty flippantly; I have the benefit of hindsight where everything was fine, and presumably if we said that in a hospital we'd have gotten someone give me a spiel similar to yours, then we would have had to sweat the decision at that time. Maybe we'd have stayed anyways. > So whatever choice you make, tell your wife to listen to her body. Thank you for this.
