Bacteria and induction

[lizzie89]

today i went to my drs appointment and was told i tested positive for gbs (bacteria) she made it seem like it was no big deal she just told me that and gave me my instructions for my induction also told me to let them know i tested positive even though its on the paper. Has anyone had this problem? i'm worried about my baby's health and her getting it.

They give you antibiotics when your about to give birth.

Yea it's normal my dr told me that a lot of women have it and it doesn't effect us but its not good for the baby they test you to see if u have so they can give you antibiotics so it won't harm ur baby. Don't worry it's normal in pregnancy . I never Hurd of it till last week today I got tested get my results next week.

oh my i dont want a c-section with my first i was induced as well and he was born vaginally so i hope it can happen with this one too. i'm so nervous i feel nauseous

[JewelzD]

Well I hope you are ready for induction cause if baby is not in the birth conal you will have a higher then normal chance of c section sorry this is why my doctors told me I was 2cm fully effaced but he was at a -2 station. But have faith all will be just fine

Thank u JewelzD, i'm starting to feel less nervous about it. Sometimes when drs dont explain what can or cant happen just worry us more than it should.

my dr had already set up my induction date for next thursday before the test came out positive. She had asked me if i wanted to have the baby at 39 or 40 weeks so my husband and i decided to have her at 39 weeks.

I had this with my last two with my daughter I had the antibiotics she was just fine with my son he was born 7-1-12 he came WAY TO FAST no time for antibiotics and he was born just fine

[lizzie89]

ok i sure will and thank u soo much. i'm very worried about my baby i just want her to be healthy

So since your test came back positive your being induce??? Or why are you being induce??

[CollinsHoney]

I did, they give you antibiotics intravenously (through an IV) while you are in labor. My son was born healthy even though I worried all day about it. She didn't tell you, but that is what they are going to do. Make sure u tell them or show the paper.
