Your doctor didn't tell you its no big deal? A lot of women get it. Its nothing you did or could've stopped. Some women get it some don't and other than birth its nothing you'll ever have to worry about again. They'll just give you some antibiotics during labor.

My test came back negative but when I got tested, my dr. told me it's not big deal. It's just a bacteria that comes and goes in your digestive tracks. Even normal people have it but it's so minor that nobody ever notices and you don't get sick or anything. And if you're pregnant, you get the antibiotics attached to your IV while in labour and that's it. No harm at all!

Yes lots of people like 50% of women. They will just attach an antibiotic to your iv when in labor. Thats it. Its not a disease or anything bad. Some womens bodys produce it and some dont thats all there is to it. Nothing at all to worry about. :)
