group b strep

[Niki418]

Has anyone ever had this group b streptococcus? ? can tell me more about this I just found out today I have this and my doctor acted very normal and said it's not a big deal when I went home and looked it up it seems like a pretty big deal for my little guy who Is due in 9 days????

I had it with my 3rd pregnancy and they acted like it was no big deal and to just come as soon as I knew I was in labor so they could give me antibiotics on time before I had to deliver him to be safe

streptococcus is a kind of bacteria that many people harbor in their intestinal tracts. The bacteria may also inhabit your vagina as well, and be passed on to your baby during labor and birth. It may cause stillbirth and serious infections in babies.
