Strep b ?

Question

I got told yesterday I have strep b I read the article my midwife gave me, but I was just hoping some personal experiences might be help me an my partner not stress so much !, please help ! 😭 I'm not sure what to think or do !

***edit **** thank you ladies :) I'm in a small hospital so have to be sent to a bigger hospital to have the baby and it's just stressful as I have a five year old son with mental health difficulties hopefully I'll be back home within the week if they get the antibiotics in quick enough

Answer

I can tell you how it goes today. I'm positive for it and I'm getting induced today. So wish me luck :)

Answer

A lot of women have strep b, it's just a bacteria all women have! I had it with my first pregnancy, and all they did was give me antibiotics when I went into labor! It's nothing to stress over! I'm pregnant with my 2nd and may or may not have it!

Answer

You'll be fine. It's not a big deal. They give you antibiotics and you're both fine. stop googling. I had it too. Trust me, you'll be fine.

Answer

All you need are antibiotics before you give birth. No reason to stress.

Answer

It doesn't make your hospital stay any longer to my knowledge so don't worry about that either! Good luck with the birth and all!!!!

Answer

No biggie. It doesn't so anything bad to you and since they know you'll get injections when labouring which protect the baby from getting sick. If your labour is too quick then baby will get the shot once born. Don't stress.

Answer

I had it with my first and now I have it with my second. No problems with the first. Doc says everything is fine as long as you get the meds while in labor. No worries!
