no biggie at all! I had it with my 1st. they just give you an antibiotic when you're giving birth. tested negative with my 2nd.

Lab tech here! Testing positive for GBS is very normal, because about 40% of women carry it as normal flora in their vagina and bottom. They will just give you antibiotics through an IV every 4 hours while in labor

Yeah idk why I wasn't told? I had switched doctors at 38 weeks that could of been why. But yeah in the hospital they explained it to me and really it's just something pregnant women can get. We don't get symptoms or anything. They give you antibiotics so that it can't spread to the baby. Really it's no biggie I didn't really worry about it because they said it wasn't really anything to worry about. Plus I had bad contractions that made it so I wasn't thinking about it lol.

OMG @missjess that would have made me freak out!! My doctor told me it isn't a big deal and I shouldn't worry - and I'm not - but I still wish I didn't even have to think twice about it.

I just passed a post of a group of moms talking about GBS . Can't remember who's post Type it in your search you should see it

@mommagi, that's awesome! Fingers crossed its an extra special day!!

I did, but no one told me until I was in active labor. And he was only 3 days early. But all they do is give you antibiotics through IV. My son was fine.
