I just found out I had it today and I am so worried....All the sites Ive looked at really dont say how I could have gotten it.....all I know is its not an std...Does anyone else have it and/or can give more info on it.

I have it to my dr said everyone almost gets it like once in their life just chance you might have it during the end of your pregnancy! No big deal as long as they.catch it.they just give you meds during labor!

It's more common in pregnancy and they will give antibiotics during labor for it.

What is group b strep. Silly question lol

SimplyJenai

Group B strep is a disease that they say is most common in prego women which it is an infection that affects either the intestines,vagina, or rectum that if not treat can be passed down to your newborn baby...

I had it with my first n she had some complications n had to stay in the nicu for a week, so there after with every delivery I'm suppose to inform the hospital staff so they can give me antibiotics .... It's really no biggie. Sometimes women can test negative then it will come during delivery

It is a harmless bacteria that 30-50% of women carry in their bodies. The reason why they test for it is because if it is passed to baby during delivery it can cause serious complications after the baby is born. But if the correct precautions are taken and antibiotics are given during labor (1bag every 4 hours) the chances you will pass it to your baby are VERY slim hun. Its nothing to worry yourself over, I promise. I had it with my first so regardless of the results this time around I will be requesting the medication just for a precaution No worries hun, I promise.
