Hi everyone. I work full time as a nanny and both kids just tested positive for strep. Is this a threat to my baby? Should I take a day off until they are no longer contagious?

Definite threat. I would take at least 24-48 hours off from work, until the kids had been on antibiotics for a full 24 hrs. Strep is very dangerous in pregnancy , and its also very contagious.

It is contagious untill fever free and on antibiotics for 24 hrs. You definitely don't want to be around it till then!

it's contagious... but it's not going to kill you... yes strep throat hurts like a birch and will make you miserable but meds will clear if up within days... just don't let them breathe directly in your face AND WASH YOUR HANDS... lol
