At how many weeks do you get tested?  How likely are you to test positive?  I Started reading about it and got a little worried

I found out I had it when they did the first blood draw... And my bestfriends pregnant and has it too! A lot of women have it but as long as you get the antibiotics In your system before you water breaks should be fine! I don't even stress about it

Something like 30 percent of women have it. Not harmful to women, just to baby if not taken care of before birth. They just give you anti biotics in your IV. No need to worry if you test positive. :)
