Does anyone know how you get Group B Strep?

I just found out I have it and they say they will have to treat it during labor. I'm so scared and worried about my lil boy!

Yes it no big deal some women just carry it. I'm one of them right now I'm wating to hear from my doctor to see if I have it again. My first pregnancy I was a carrier which I just had to tell them at the hospital you need antibiotics before delivering your baby or a soon as your water breaks you should get to the hospital ASAP to be out on them before baby passes thru the birth canal.

Its no big deal and its common. Its nothing you have done. Just remind them when you go to the hospital that you have it and make sure they put you on antibiotics. I had it with my second.
