You don't need an iv if you keep yourself hydrated. I love water so that wouldn't have been a problem for me. Lol but yeah I heard sometimes you have it with one kid and not the other! Kinda crazy lol
There are no symptoms for Strep B. Had it with my first child but not my second. Hopefully I skip it with this one. And they usually give you a IV for fluids anyway. So dont count on not having a Iv put in.
