I had it with both of my pregnancies. Antibiotics during labor. Both babies are perfectly healthy. I was told it's pretty common

Answer

If you have GBS, they give you antibiotics at the time of delivery (assuming it's vaginal, and not a c-section) to drastically reduce the chance of passing it to the baby during birth. GBS is not a STI and cannot be transmitted like one, and a percentage of Vagina owners already have it as a part of their natural flora.
