Has anybody been tested for GROUP B STREPTOCOCCUS???

You can test positive at 37 weeks and not have it at birth and vice versa! Ask your doctor about it.

Everyone has the bacteria and it doesn't usually cause any issues in healthy adults. It only causes problems during delivery if it was passed to baby. Just a simple swab test its good for 4 weeks.

No, it will no affect your baby. Unless you were positive and did not get the antibiotics. I'm not sure if it does go away but I would assume so. There are many forms of the strep virus. Like strep throat... And with antibiotics and time, that goes away.

I knw.. im getting tested next week... will it affect the baby inside the womb in any way?? What if im positive.. does it goes away?

[Optimysticmama]

No problem. I wondered the same thing when I got mine done. So at my 37 wk appt, I asked cuz it was driving me crazy. :)

GroUp b strep is a bacterial infection that can be passed to baby. You get tested that way if it is positive, you can be given antibiotics when you go into labor.
