Are there ways to avoid a GBS diagnosis?

Question

Had it in my first pregnancy and I’m trying to avoid it with this one. (First was almost 4 years ago). I’m currently 26 weeks with my second. 
Is it avoidable? Or no...? 
I’m thinking like extra probiotics, yogurt, ACV.... things like that to up my good bacteria down there??
I want to have a water birth at my hospital and I have a feeling this one is going to be quick... 
Can you have a water birth if you are GBS positive?

Answer

I had it with first 4 years ago as well and tested negative this time stay positive its just luck of the draw

Answer

You either have it or don’t. If you’re having a water birth at the hospital they’ll give you antibiotics like normal. It’s really not a big deal 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Answer

Not avoidable, it just happens. I had it with my 1st baby but not my 2nd or 3rd. Didn’t do anything different.

Answer

I don’t think it’s preventable...it’s a bacterial infection that lives there, if you have it. It’s a either you have it or don’t scenario! I hope you test negative this time around!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Answer

I had it with my first, negative with this one. Not sure how that all works but it seems to come and go I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️
Not avoidable tho. Either you have it or you don’t. It’s just a bacteria.

Answer

Not avoidable. You either have it or you don’t
