Group B Test

They did my group b test done and I'm positive.Should I be concern?My doctor say not to worry they only have to give antibodies during labor.For my first pregnacy this didn't happen.Im also worry that this baby is going to be bigger than my first one.Can my doctor tell how much my baby weight he says all the time that baby is the size it suppose to be.

I had it with my first.  They just ran antibiotics as soon as I checked in on a 4 hour rotation.

I had it with my first pregnancy and didn't even know. When I went into labor, they gave me antibiotics, and once that ran through my system, I could focus more on actually getting my son out. It is nothing to worry about and is very common. They can definitely treat it in the hospital when you go into labor.

There's nothing to worry abt Group B Steep is normal in adults from what I hear its just harmful to babies so they give the antibiotics during labor so baby will be safe. As far as size if your Dr doesn't have any concerns then its probably nothing to be too concerned about. Try not to stress. Good luck mom!

If your doctor says not to worry, then don't worry.  Antibiotics are all that's needed.  You doctor can only guess at the size of the baby and can be off by quite a bit.
