Question on PPD!!! please reply

Hello Everyone,

I just need a little help because I am freaking out. I am 9 weeks pregnant and had to have a pre-employment work-up. I had to have a ppd done. It was given to me on Friday and I went in on Monday and you could not even see where it had been given to me at. The nurse touched my arm and said it was a negative. My best friend said that it would be noticable if I had a positive TB. So now its Thursday and I look at my arm and I see a small red bump. I am freaking out and I dont know what to do. Can this be an allergic reaction. It was clearly not there this whole time until today ( Thursday). My sister in law said that I was freaking out for no reason. What do I do? I am really scared! Please someone help. Is a ppd not read after 72 hours for a reason? Thank you very much for you help!!!!

We are not to give medical advice here, so I will just tell you to look up info about PPD testing online or in your nursing texts, which should answer your question and give you some comfort. The test is checked for induration at 48 - 72 hours purposely.
