It's vaginal strep just like when you get strep throat. Nothing to worry about you will get penicillin in your iv to protect the baby from getting it but nothing to worry about.

Just means that when you go in labor they will give you an iv for meds that will prevent you from giving it to baby during labor. Nothing to be worried about (:
