Strep B

[nickymeg]

     My husband has an enlarged prostate and they found strep b in his sperm.  I remember testing postitive for strep b in my first pregnancy.  Did I give this to my husband?  Can it be passed sexually and what does this mean now that I am pregnant again?

I don't know how it is contracted but all they will do is give you a couple doses of  IV antibiotics before you deliver the baby

Or maybe he gave it to you.  I don't know how strep b works, but that could be a possibility too.  Although, like I said, I don't know if it is sexually transmitted.  

Like nursekim said, you need to be on antibiotics... I am sure you did this with your first pregnancy too.  Obviously, let your doctor know that you have strep b so they can take the proper precautions.

although you had strep b the first time you were pregnant you dont necessarily have it this time.. So your doctor will most likely test you again. I dont believe that it is sexually transmitted it is just something that you can have and once treated it goes away and can come back. I believe its just bacterial.. but again because you had it in your first pregnancy does not mean you will have it again.
