group b strep help!

nikkie · February 2011

So when i was 8 wks pregnant i thought i has a uti, went to mex express and did not have one. I was so irritable n felt i had a uti bc ive had them before.. i got the results back and they told me i had group b strep. My symptoms were i constantly felt the urge to pee even if it was just a little and even minutes after i go its so annoyin! they gave me ampicillin n said it could come back tho. I googled n researched how thy give u the iv when u give birth so u dont pass it to the baby..ans usually ppl w group b do not have symptoms or know they have it.. bc usually thy only test forit at 37 weeks.. so i am now 25 weeks prego n thy did a culture n i still have group b strep

the nurse said it cannot harm or affect the baby right now only risk is at birth. But i find that hard to believe. Can anyone else reaasure me that i am not riskin anytbing right now. She did not give me antjbiotics this time.. bc she said im prob just a carriee.. but i have the aymtpoms.. i dunno! Help im worried to death bc i dont wantt my baby having issues from havin this my whole pregnancy

I had it with my first and second, most likely this one too. Antibiotics during labor is mixed with your iv fluids, no biggie

Ive had it with all three of my pregnancys,everything was fine ...i believe it is quite common.They just give you antibotics and I and my babies had to stay in the hospital for an extra day for observation.
