group b strep positive.... :(

what's that ?

@chibiytino,

nothing to worry about . You get antibiotics when you go into labor . Go immediately.

I know... I just can't help but feel disappointed /: @hdt91

oooo wow! an they test you at 37 weeks ?

I felt that way when I tested positive . Than I did research and it made it a we bit better .

is this your first pregnancy

🙁 You can try and cure it.

There's isn't a cure @kiwi314 it's a normal bacteria that some women just have. and yes it is @hdt91

My midwife was talking to me about it and mentioned there were things you could do. Something to do with garlic and douching I think.

Don't worry girl I had it. I was worried but everything was ok. I got an IV with medication and extra nurses because of it. I also had to stay an extra day in the hospital but there is nothing to be scared of. It's very common you'll be ok momma 🤗

why did you have to stay another day ? @marinarose

I been told that we could have it this round and not next pregnancy .

Because of the strep b. They monitor you and the baby more if you have it not really sure why

hm. my doctor said it doesn't affect anything after birth and didn't mention another day. I will have to ask next week. @marinarose and my doctor said it's only like 5% of people who have it first pregnancy who do not have it other pregnancies @hdt91

Yeah my doctors said that it goes away once you give birth but sometimes it can affect the baby. But he also had a bm when they broke my water so maybe that's why

I was told it not something that goes away by 2 different doctors and that it's simply just a type of natural bacteria some women have and some don't so I have no clue lol @marinarose
