Pregnant and strep B infection

[avaa7]

Hi ladies, So I just found out I am seven weeks pregnant we also saw heartbeat. I am happy but  scared and nervous same time. This will be my third pregnancy, I dont have any child yet. I have had two early  m/c (July 10 and Oct 10) both time we didn't see heartbeat.after several tests they found I have MTHFR mutation ( heterozygous ) so I am on folgard/ prenatal and also on Lovenox shots daily ( 40 mg). This time we want to be excited but probably will take some more time, if evrything goes well. However today when I called my OB/GYN office to know the results from the several samples they took during my visit ( last Monday) nurse told me I have Strep B infection and asked me to take medicine ( probably they will prescribe me Penicillin antibiotics). I am obviously upset and stressed about all these and why all these happening to me and if i  can have a stress less pregnancy.I have some questions for you my friends please answer.
1. Have any of you had similar infection/ or have heard about this?
2. is taking  antibiotics this early be harmful to developing baby?
3. Or I just dont take anything and wait for later pregnancy?

Please pray for me and for my baby. I really need this.

It's called group b strep. You should look it up online. But its nothing to stress about. If u tested positive for it then when your in labor your should have an antibiotic hooked into an iv for you. It can be passed to your baby as you give birth to him/her. Usually we are tested in the 35-37 weeks frame.

I had it. Didn't know it. I have birth to my son at 33 weeks so I didn't get antibiotics. He didn't get it, but I was told to let my Drs know my next pregnancy so I can next time.

You're ok. Good luck.
