So my doctor called me about and hour ago to tell me that I have group b strep im being put on…

a lot of woman have strep b. you just have to get iv antibiotics when you go into labor for the baby's safety. the baby will be oaky.

Yea as long as you get the antibiotics you will be fine

Well im glad to hear it's common I have just never had that before so I started to have anxiety after reading all the online info , thank you @parkers_mommy

Ok great ,Thank you ladies

yes I had it they kept giving me antibiotics when I was in labor n my baby is fine

I have it as well. I was given penicillin for a week. My OB said that I will get Iv antibiotics during my section but nothing to worry about. the internet is scary!

Omg yes it is scary @jgrayson I started reading and was in tears thinking about what could happen and why is this happening im glad to hear ur baby is great @princessz21 after reading ball that I figured I'd come here and hear from other moms im so glad I did

What is it ? I had it when I had my last baby .

All*

It's a bacteria that grown in the vagina im hearing it's very common it's does not usually ever harm moms but can be harmful to the baby when being born @elenaj

I had it as well, the antibiotics burn unless they drop the saline stuff at the same time .. Atleast mine did

Oh ok . @krys

I was the same way and I'm in the medical field so of coarse my mind wondered to the worse possible scenerio. You just want to make sure that if your water breaks you let the hospital staff know that you tested positive for it so they can start antibiotics right away to decrease the chances of transmission to the baby. if it's a section then the only thing my Ob said that would be of any concern would be the incision getting infected but baby should be fine and the antibiotics will help from incision getting infected

Well I guess I can handle the burn to ensure my baby is healthy lol thank you for the heads up @caydensmommy

Ok thanks you so much for the advice @jgrayson I will keep that im mind and make sure I tell them right away when the time comes

That's what I said. They did the saline drip with mine except one time so it wasn't bad
