I got tested today (a little early, but I'm showing signs of preterm labor being a high possibility). I find out next week when I go back. I just know it's pretty normal to be a carrier and not a huge deal, you just get antibiotics for it to keep baby safe.
@jadasmommy93, we have no idea, though if the strep test comes back positive it may be part of the reason. my doc tools me today 1 in 6 women carry group b strep normally and the test and antibiotics are just to be sure baby doesn't get an infection at birth, but that sometimes it can be a cause for preterm labor- which is the most serious thing I've heard about it.
