I tested positive with my second, but the doctor didn't worry because I was scheduled for a c-section, but they still kept an eye on it.

I was positive with my first daughter.  I was supposed to receive 2 doses of antibiotics during labor, but only received 1 because I birthed her so fast.  She was monitored for signs of infection but had none, she was perfectly fine.
Your Dr. will know to give you the antibiotics and you should have no complications.
I tested negative with my second.  Curious to see which way it goes with this one.
