    And no shedding. They will usually put you on suppressive therapy for the final trimester and may conduct tests during labour. If all good, then a vaginal birth is possible. If not, a C-section will be indicated.

      exactly what is shedding ? can you tell if you’re shedding ? what are the signs & symptoms of a ob & shedding ? i have had an ob since September 2nd & it just popped up .

      Shedding is when virus is present, but symptoms aren't necessary, so you can't tell. Only a test can indicate this.
