I don't have all of the details you might want a second opinion from a professional honestly.

it is very common. you will just need an IV of antibiotics during labor.

I believe it even works fast when you get it. I got it when I was admitted right after they tested me. Unfortunately I had to have an emergency c section but the doctors and nurses weren't at all worried when they gave me the antibiotics.

okay that makes me feel a lot better! I think she is worried cause for the past 2 weeks I've been having contraction and what not so that maybe part of the reason @mahaylasmomma

@mahaylasmomma, so I'm guessing since my obgyn told me I'll need antibiotics in an IV I was positive for Strep B?

@tater4414, No it doesn't really affect anything, I felt sad when I found out I had it too, but realized there was nothing anyone could do to not make me have it. and it's not harmful to mom or baby as long as they give you the antibiotics.
idk why you're midwife is freaking you out like that....

they think I've had it for several weeks but I'm no where close enough to be able to have the baby safely @nikitasky @bashlilymommy92

it's perfectly normal. all they're gonna do is give you antibiotics during labor so the baby doesn't get sick. just make sure you get the antibiotics and there is nothing to worry about. I had the same exact conversation with my doctor yesterday.
