Positive for Strep B

I just tested positive for strep b has anyone delivered a baby and had this? Did they get sick or was everything ok? I'm so nervous thinking about it.

I tested positive as well and I am due Friday. I have stressed so much about this. Doctor just said I will be getting an iv with antibiotics before delivery. And has not really explained it. So I Google it and just scared myself.

They normally give you an antibiotic through IV when you go in to labor and delivery before baby comes
