Group B strep positive

hi!

I'am almost 38 wks and this week on my obgyn appt doctor said I was Group B strep positive. Can you guys inform me a little more and do they recommend having a plan Csection??

Sorry for my ignorance but with my other 2 pregnancys I never had this I'am so new to the subjected

NOpe no biggie. You just get antibiotics in an iv while Toure in labor. And they kept me 2 days to make sure baby didn't show signs of contracting it. You'll be fine  

It doesn't mean much. You'll just get some antibiotics during your labor. I was strep B positive and it wasn't an issue at all.

I had it, all they do is give you a round or two of antibiotics during labor. There's no reason for a c section if you have it so you shouldn't be concerned  

Yup I tested positive for it with my daughter 12 years ago. They just threw antibiotics in my drip while I was in labor and we were both on antibiotics for a day or two and that was that   (I was in for a week because of complications from my csection that weren't related)

OHHH Great to know thanks girls!!! I was getting scared  

Like everyone else said, they just give you antibiotics. I had them like every two hours and I was in labor 24 hours.

Agree with everyone.

Just make sure your allergy list is up to date; I was GBS+ with #2 and the pharmacy kept trying to send up penicillin which I'm allergic to (OB called and chewed out the pharmacy for screwing up; it's one of the 3 biggest things I remember from her delivery)
