Yes I'm gbs +. It's a normal flora that we can carry that baby hasn't got immunity to. Gbs has nothing to do with a lot besides giving the baby something like pneumonia

She doesn't want me in labor. It's to get me to dilate easily so at my next appointment if I am dilated she can strip my membranes so I can have my baby come at 40 weeks and I don't go over and have to be induced with medicine. Plus I don't start taking it till 38 weeks anyway. So I'll be far enough of he decided to come.

To soften the cervix and help with a easy labor.  Some women say it helped jump start their labor when taken vaginally.
