Strep B+ 11 weeks

Katie

I just had my first OB visit/ultrasound two days ago. I am 11 weeks. My doctor’s office called me today and said that strep B was detected in my urine sample and they are going to treat me with antibiotics. I was positive with my first baby as well. I know that typically this is treated before/during labor so I’m confused as to why they want to treat it now. I get nervous taking anything during pregnancy so I was just wondering if anyone has been through anything similar? The CDC website says nothing about treating it before labor.
