Group B Strep. Its a bacteria that a lot of women carry but dont know because it rarely comes with symptoms. They treat you with IV antibiotics so it doesnt pass to baby through birth canal. Most docs will check for this at 36 weeks or more. I had it with my 1st but not my 2nd. My daughter was fine. No big deal.
