Strep b is a bacteria that some women have in their vagina. Not all have it. Completely different from strep throat

And it doesnt affect anyone/anything as long as you get the antibiotic during labor my dr explained it as being similar to dirt under your finger nails it doesnt hurt anything, some people have it some dont, and the only time it is harmful is when you put your nails in your mouth (comparing that to labor lol)
