Lots of ppl end up with it during pregnancy not that big of a deal. Just v trying to figure outvy your doctor prescribed antibiotics now as one you've  tested for it your considered colonized by the strep b bacteria and it will most likely not go away and stay away with meds now. Your supposed to be put on iv antibiotics during labor to kill of bacteria then so it doesn't pass to baby as it moves through the birth canal.
