anybody on here ever been diagnosed with group b strep a couple weeks before delivery?
usually its not thatvmuch of a problem. your doctor will have an antibiotic picked out before hand. and just make sure you go to the hospital asap with contractions
I'm just worried I won't make it in time to get all the medicine. But my boyfriend had to stay in the hospital a week when he was born because his mom didn't get any of the medicine and he's totally fine, so I'm not like really freaking out about it too much. @can2015
don't be nervous it will be fine no need to stress about it a lot of women have it.
@kaylhunt2, that's what I'm scared of. I'm allergic to penicillin. and what if I don't get to the hospital in time to have the antibiotics that long?
Yea my Dr told me yesterday I have it. I'm allergic to penicillin and that's the main one they give but she told me they would give another kind. I'm beyond nervous and stressing! @soontobemommy @ahylton @aimes102 @bree31
yup. wasnt too big of a deal. the only issues i had with it was because im allergic to amoxicillin and penicillin. when i went into labor they started me on antibiotics and i finished and had my baby 6 hours later. doctors usually like to have the antibiotics in your system for 4 hours before giving birth
My doctor told me I had it and that when I went into labor as long as I had enough antibiotics it wouldn't affect him. I'm kinda nervous about it but she said it's fine and not to stress about it. @can2015
yep with my first two babies I didn't make it in time to get it with my first but my second I only got half a dose
how many weeks were you when you delivered? And how long did you have the antibiotics? @aimes102
Yup I did with my last child, I got to hospital in time to get my antibiotics and my son was born healthy
were the antibiotics given through iv while you were in labor n delivery? how many weeks were you? @bree31
don't stress yaself, I'm sure the drs will do all they can make sure you're OK and that the baby is born healthy.
