Sorry this might be TMI but my doctor mentioned me being tested for group B strep at my next appointment. I know they swab your vagina but I read that they swab your rectum, is this true? My doctor didn't mention this part so I'm just wondering.

They gave me the swab thing that looks like a bigger q tip. You do it yourself and they leave the room. They will tell you what to do.

They did it for me and I tested positive with my first. They give you an Iv typically when you're in labor so they will add an antibiotic to make sure the Strep B doesn't hurt the baby. It's rather common. Try not to worry. I don't think you feel much with the swab it's quick and painless in comparison to labor!

yup. they just swab the outside of the vagina n rectum. I tested positive and needed to have the antibiotics during labor. super common in a lot of pregnant women.

Good Luck Girly.. I'm Having a c section 4 my second one also so it really doesn't matter but all they do is give u antibiotics thru ur labor

@larissasentell021815, no... to be honest if he did I didn't feel it .... it was more uncomfy to feel the swab towards my pee hole. but it really didn't hurt and they don't go inside of any holes.... just a literal 1..2..3.. swipes and done

They do swab your bum. They don't like stick the qtip in there or anything if that's what you're worried about! 😊 just a quick swipe over your bum hole.😊
