What do u guys know about Group B strep test or Streptococcus??

they swab your butthole

if you come back positive then you have to get a shot during labor i believe. If your water breaks you need to go right in

They will give you antibiotics during labor. Its very rare to be harmful to the baby.

@arivera64, they don't swab your butthole... They swab your vaginal area..

The infection comes from your vagina..

strep B can normally be found in the female vagina, so you're tested for it during pregnancy. if positive for strep B you'll be placed on antibiotics during labor. if the strep B isn't taken care of, it could cause neonatal meningitis or blindness of the newborn since if can be transmitted to the baby during labor. I'm a lab tech btw and have worked with strep B in the lab for a long time. hope that helps

@twinmama_navywife, thank you ive had 3 kids they do swab your vagina and your butt! The infection can be found in the vagina and rectum. Im a labor professional i think i know this.

I'll also leave this here...thanks.

@arivera64, @cubanese calm yourselves..

lmao @ginnalynn Im not a know it all but I've been studying pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding etc for years and I'm a certified professional in a few areas. Also on my 4th pregnancy. I can be found commenting on lots of posts because I actually DO know what I'm talking about when i comment. People kill me.

I hear y'all @cubanese @arivera64 she just made a status about how y'all were being petty lol, but giving out false info can be dangerous.

bahahaha @ginnalynn right....if i don't know the answer or I'm unsure I always tell them to call the doctor @cubanese who's petty? Sounds like she is. Making posts about us! Hahaha oh well....let me get off this girl status and stop blowing up her notifications 😂😂
