Group B strep test positive ?!!!

Question

I’m freaking out! We’re already considered high risk and now my test for Group B strep just came back positive. I’m reading on it and of course about to have a nervous break down because the condition baby and I already have can cause our membranes to rupture. Which is a cause for group b strep. We have VCI (Velamentous Cord Insertion) 
So my question is, if you were high risk how did they treat the situation? Did they deliver your baby early? What do they do besides treat you with antibiotics?

Answer

It’s a super common thing and not a big deal. They just give you IV antibiotics during the delivery.

Answer

It’s just a bacteria from your intestinal tract, not a super serious issue and it’s incredibly common. When my test came up positive my OB told me specifically not to go googling about it, because it would just stress me out. 
All they do is give you antibiotics in your IV during labor and at my hospital we had to stay an extra day for observation just to make sure my baby didn’t develop a fever. That’s it, easy peasy! 😊

Answer

Very common! You’ll get IV antibiotics prior to delivering!

Answer

All you get is antibiotics before delivery. It's very common. Calm down

Answer

I'm step b positive this time too.  I wasn't with my first two pregnancies.  My dr made it seem like it's not a huge deal, just antibiotics while in labor and then they'll just check the baby when he's born.  She says it's super rare anything comes from it.

Answer

My cousin had it and all they did was give her antibiotics during delivery :) everyone was fine! 
Funny enough... I’ve also tested positive for it when I wasn’t pregnant and have never been pregnant! 🤔
