Getting tested today for group b strep, kinda nervous. How many of you came back positive for it.?

I tested positive with my 1st pregnancy

Me✋

i did with my second pregnancy.

I did

And what do they do when you come back positive.? @jenkobe8348 @sophiesmom7 @julie27 @cutiepie

They will give you a medication when you go into labor so that your baby doesn't get sick.

they gave me an antibiotic once i was in labor i guess that's the only time it will work @mj3

I'm not a fan but they never did that to me 7 years ago😑 sorry if this is ignorant but what is that??! Lol

Ftm* not fan. Lol (auto correct) lol

So just like IV antibiotics while I'm in labor.? @sophiesmom7 @julie27

Yes or a pill. I'm not sure which one my doctor said.

I honestly don't even know, my doctor told me they test all pregnant women for it at 36-37 weeks. @abella1023

Ohhh lol thanks. When I first started seeing it I thought it was strep throat 😂😂😂😩 opps🙊

@abella1023, its something us woman carry in our bodies but its harmful or even fatal to the babies so they check to see if women have it and if they do they get antibiotics once in labor that's the only time it will work

like a bacteria or something like that @abella1023

@mj3, its either through iv or a pill

@abella1023, lmao i though the same thing too at first 😂😂

@julie27, omg that sounds scary 😢 ugh pregnancy is so bitter sweet! Ok thanks! At least I wasn't the only 1 who didn't know lol I guess I never realized when I got tested with it the 1st time around lol who knows lol😁

I did with my 3rd but not the other two. they gave me meds in my IV when I went into labor. cause when I got there I was already 6cm dilated. lol. but it's not bad for you but it is for baby thats why they give you meds to make sure it don't get to baby.

what happens if it's positive @jenkobe8348 ?

@abella1023, this is my 3rd pregnancy and the only one I've actually paid attention to everything. i had it done with my second one and it came back positive and to be honest i had no idea wth they were talking about 😂😂 till a few weeks ago my ob explained it to me. i know I'm a mess 😅

@ehamp86, they will give u antibiotics in the hospital when you're in labor in a iv...it's just a bacteria that's in the vagina that can make baby sick when it's coming through the birth canal..... But if you get that antibiotics you and baby will be fine.... It's very common....
