Thanks ladies I feel a bit better knowing I'm not alone and that this is really common. I just pray a get the antibiotics 4 hours before baby comes because my last pregnancy it went fast really fast

You can have it this pregnancy and not have it the next. It's a weird thing.  I don't have it present this time but did with my first

I just got tested for it today... My doc told me 40% of ppl have it on their skin. No biggie they will just treat you with antibiotics thru an IV when you gone in to have your baby... I have 3 girls and I had to have that with all of them... it's so you don't pass it on to the baby as their coming thru your birth canal...

Yes. Don't feel bad. It just happens and is entirely normal, but just poses a risk for baby.  You get an IV antibiotic, no biggie :)
