Strep B
So I tested positive for Steep B, and now I'm really worried ? My doctor doesn't seem worried at all. She says they'll just have to put me on antibiotics during labor and I have to come in as soon as my water breaks. I'm just worried about my baby getting it, even though the chance is really low. I just want to keep him as safe and healthy as possible.

I once again tested positive for strep b. There is really no need to stress yourself out about this. They give you antibiotics during labor.

I've tested positive three of my five pregnancies and everything was fine. It's quite common. There's things you can do to get rid of it before you go into labor if you want to tho

I tested positive for group b as well. Here is the safest website to get all of your facts, and it won't scare the f*** out of you! https://evidencebasedbirth.com/groupbstrep/
It gives you all the facts, trails and information on group b from all different countries.
Now the most important thing I've learned from women about group B is not to have your membranes stripped because it can cause the bacteria to infect the baby in utero and can be fatal. I've been told it's still safe to have sex and live my life normally- just no membrane sweep and if your water breaks go straight to the hospital!

Does anyone know what the antibiotics are? I read that they use penicillin, but I'm allergic to penicillin! ?

It’s not a big deal. I was positive my last pregnancy. They just give you meds during labor

I’m positive for the second time around, with my daughter all was good I still got membrane strips as I was only aware of the infection being able to touch baby once your waters are broken. If they are antibiotics should be started ASAP. Last time I was induced as 12 days late and they just started once they broke my waters.

Don't be worried! The chances even Without antibiotics is still slim, with you have no problem. I think the harder thing is it'll also kill all the good bacteria baby Should get on the way out. But your baby isn't gonna get strep b. If you want to extra productive, I take extra probotics and garlic tablets as well, especially with getting antibiotics, your gut health matters too.
