  I wouldn't worry about it. They don't do anything before labor to treat Group B Strep, so as long as you don't go into labor before Monday, you're fine. If you do go into labor before then, immediately tell them at the hospital that you never had the Strep test done. They may just administer antibiotics as a precaution.

  ditto pp.  although i tested positive for it and they gave me an antibiotic at that time and then i had an antibiotic drip at the hospital (though my labor was so fast i don't think i finished the IV lol!). 

  anyway, its not a big deal, if you go into labor before you're tested then just make sure you tell them when you get checked in at the hospital.  they should go ahead and give you the antibiotic drip just in case. 

  and as an fyi, the drip burns.  not horribly, but it wasn't exactly pleasant.  lol.  just a heads up so you know that if you experience that, its totally normal!

  I wouldn't worry about it. Like PP said, they give you antibiotic DURING labor if you are positive. I would think that even if you go into labor before they get your test done, they'd give you the meds anyway, to be safe. That's how they do it here in Hickory.
