Group B Strep Test

[TieraT]

What is it? My doctor said that since I'm close to my date I have to get tested for this.. I never asked what it was and all other info on it

[jordyvi0824]

I have it. I got tested for it last week and I've got it my doctor said it's not a big deal at all just have to get an extra IV with antibiotics during labor and the swab isn't bad at all getting your cervix checked is 1000 times worse! Good luck

I hope so ! My in laws looked at me like if im dirty & keep telling me I can get it from sex when its not an STD  so it doesnt make me feel any better

I was tested in both my bum and vag last week, i felt so violated!

Mine only tested vaginally. My doctor told me it's a normal bacteria to have, but it can be harmful to the baby. He said it is only harmful in 4 or 5 out of every 1000 cases though, so it's not commonly a problem. If you're positive they'll just put you on antibiotics when you're in labor. That decreases the risk to 1 in 1000.

The group b test is for a bacteria that over 60% of women carry. This is a healthy bactetia for our bodies but isnt healthy for a new baby. If you test positive for it that just means youll get a shot when you get to the hospital to deliver. Its really not a big deal...worst case youll have to stay in the hospital an extra day to monitor baby
