Will I have a group B strep screen since I have a planned c section this time?

Question

I would think not since baby won’t be in the birth canal, but then I also think maybe they’d go ahead in case I unexpectedly went into labor and delivered super fast or something? Does that even happen?

Answer

Of course that can happen. They’ll do the test anyway. I had it done before my scheduled section last time.

Answer

I'd think they would test anyway. Also if your water breaks before labor hospitals like you to come in and get the IV antibiotics going so that's another possibility too they're planning for.

Answer

I still received the screening with my csections

Answer

Basically, not needed, yes.
