Streptococcus Group B

mommagirl87

Hello Everyone, I tested positive for streptococcus and I know it's nothing too major but I am nervous..Did any other mothers test positive for this bacteria? I have had such a up and down pregnancy, I could use any encouraging thoughts or words.
Thank you!!

There's another thread about this. Search the board, it covers exactly what you asked.

ETA: specifically it's named "GBS" to help you find it.

Yes, I found out that I tested positive last night. I have found out that it is extremely rare to actually pass along GBS and it is NBD/very common. You will get penicillian after you are admitted to L&D (assuming a hospital birth- not sure about a birthing center).
