Can someone explain to me what Group B strep is in “simple terms”?

I don’t think I’m being induced unless something has changed that I’m not aware of hopefully I make it in time.
@tinannas i only got induced because I had preeclampsia which was easier to make sure I got the antibiotic in time but you don't get induced with Strep B.
You somehow acquired it from your last pregnancy to this one. It’ll be fine 😊 I was positive with my last and I haven’t been tested yet for this pregnancy
@flamingomom, even though I was negative the last pregnancy? And it was over 2 years ago?
@tinannas, yeah that’s what I mean. Sometime within the span of 2 years that bacteria was introduced to your body. It doesn’t really mean anything though. I believe it’s part of the GI tract flora.
I don't know exact what it is but I know it just means that you need antibiotics when you are in labor
@tinannas basically it's an infection that can be passed from mother to baby and that's why you get antibiotics. It should go away a Google search was informative
@mommy21angel, I googled it but I was trying to figure out also how you get it and I didn’t see anything.
@tinannas it's a bacteria that some people just have. I don't think there is a certain way to get it. It should go away
I tested positive with my last child. Started me on antibiotics an hour before inducing me. (It is important to get tested and try to get to the hospital in time to be started on the antibiotics before delivery since it is harder to treat afterwards.) Is what the nurses told me.
