GBS..?

Question

Has anyone else's doctor told them they have gbs & are going to have to get antibiotics put in their IV while the baby is born or the baby can take their first breath & catch pneumonia ? I'm nervous & I dot really understand what exactly it is..

Answer

It's pretty common, I've never had it but as long as you get the IV everything should be fine. I did go into preterm labor last pregnancy before I was able to be tested so I had to have penicillin just in case.

Answer

It's a strain of strep. They give you antibiotics so baby doesn't get sick. It's pretty common, no need to worry.

Answer

It's very common and you shouldn't worry about it. I had it with my daughter and I just got antibiotics every 4 hours while I was in labor. And then she had to stay in the hospital for 48 hours to make sure she didn't get it.
