I just turned 35w and 5d and tested positive for strep b. Im pretty worried have any of you ladies had this and how did it go?

I tested positive with this pregnancy and this is my 2nd..I didn't with my 1st..my ob told me it's because I have gestational diabetes with my pregnancy so I'm at higher risk and she will have me on antibiotics even though I'm having a scheduled c section on the 22nd of November but if the baby comes earlier we will go from there...I'm kinda worried tho but I know everything will be fine

There is nothing to worrie about, i have it to, i am almost 39 weeks.. You will get some medicen every 6hours when you are in labor, it will go away few days after the baby is born. I am on medicen called Kåvepenin that i have to swallow 3 times at day until i get in labor :) good luck :)

Don't worry, this is my 3rd pregnancy and I've had strep b with all 3.. just gotta go to hospital when you know you're in labour and they'll try give you 2 doses of antibiotics through IV before bub is born

I also tested positive with this pregnancy. Don't worry, the fact you know is the main thing. I have a few friends who have had it. It's when it is not detected that's a problem.

I tested postive too and am nothing but worried as well. I have had a great pregnancy but now this to ruin the last few weeks. I'm scared and want to be at  the hospital long enough for antibiotics to kick in  but don't want it to be false labour.

I was positive with one pregnancy, negative with another. They will hook you up to antibiotics during your labor since you are positive. Don't wait till you're pushing to go in because the antibiotics takes like two or so hours to get into your system.
