Infections of the best-left-unnamed kind

Did I mention that the wonky hormones have resulted in a less than acidic pH environment in the nether regions and the vagina? In plain words: the friendly bacteria have flourished and turned hostile. Doc took a culture swab and sent me home with a plethora of medication: gels to insert (complete with 6" plastic tube and plunger), tablets to insert after completing the gel treatment, antifungal cream to spread and two courses of antibiotics to swallow.

Doc hopes it's not a strain of strep which could cause pneumonia to a newborn. I don't remember the scientific name but I remember the initials GBS. I am to call back in a weeks' time for results.
