Strep?????

Question

I just got called from my clinic saying I tested positive when they did a swan test last week! 
I’m 35w going into 36w! They said it’s not a big 
deal and when I go into labor they’ll give me antibiotics
But I’m scared and a bit confused! Have you been diagnosed with this or someone you know??

Answer

Are you talking about strep b? If so, it’s common and they just give you antibiotics through an IV while you’re in labor.

Answer

Had my test yesterday.  No results yet.  But it truly isn’t a big deal. Unless you object to three IV bags of antibiotics.  Then it’ll bother you.

Answer

GBS is very very common you will have IV antibiotics while in labour- 🇬🇧 it’s every 4 hours after your waters go until birth then baby has 12 hour of observation. I would much rather know and be treated in labour otherwise your baby might need IV antibiotics and a longer stay in hospital. GBS isn’t sexual transmitted or anything to do with hygiene, it’s just a normal bug that grows in a lot of ladies.

Answer

Don’t stress. It’s very common. They will do intravenous antibiotics during labor to protect the baby, and with proper treatment, the risk of complications from it are very small. My daughter was happy and healthy, and I tested positive.

Answer

i had it 2 out of 3 pregnancies its not a big deal, they swabbed your butt & vagina at some point & it just means strep b is living on your skin which is pretty normal. you’ll get some penicillin in an IV during labor & thats it.

Answer

It is no big deal at all. It’s like a huge percentage of women have it and it doesn’t affect you at all. They’ll put you on antibiotics when you go into labor and everything will be fine
