Student_Mrs

Just a quick one from me as I am about to eat and pretend I am not seriously worried but I was told today I have Group B strep?!

Has anyone else had this in pregnancy? I'm 24 weeks and went to midwife 2 weeks ago to query thrush as TMI!
had lots of discharge and it was v smelly . Was told I needed swab this Monday by doctor which she did and she gave me canesten and told me to ring Thursday. It's seemed to have cleared up but now I was told I have Group B Strep by the receptionist and given amoxicillin as it needs to be treated in pregnancy.

Mr Google has scared me silly, can anyone share their experiences of Group b strep, antibiotics in pregnancy and labour with it? I've been told that I will have another swab 5 days after my 7 day course of antibiotics - is it possible for it to disappear if it is always possible? and am i totally discounted from a water birth? We have midwife next Friday but I know how much i will worry before then...

It can come and go during pregnancy Student_mrs, and they will re-swab you closer to your due date I think. If it's still present, from when you know you're in labour (waters breaking or contractions) you'l be hooked up to a drip with antibiotics. The main thing is they know about it, which is excellent.

Hi all,

This is the first opportunity I've had to come online so sorry for the delay, but wanted to let you know Megan was born by emergency c-section on 23 April.

We're doing well now, but have had our problems. Over the weeked I had the inductions, baby became distressed and the heartrate raced / plummeted to zero at different times. There was no heartbeat at birth and Megan wasn't breathing. She had 3-cycles of resuscitation and responded well.

I then caught an infection in hospital. We were moved off the ward and had to stay in until this week.

Megan dropped a lot of body weight(1lb) but thankfully was clear of the infection.

We're both home now, I'm on medication for another week but hoping we've turned the corner.

It's been quite a rollercoaster ride, but I have a beautiful baby girl who I love to bits and touch wood we're both healthy now.

I wll post more when I can, but wanted to let you know we're ok.

Hope all is well with everyone x

Congrats Natwesty!!!!
God you're both on the mend now. We've been thinking of you. Looking forward to hearing more when you have time.
Take care xxxx

Congratulations natwesty, sorry you've had a rough time of it but I'm glad you are both on the mend.

Student mrs as Gilly said it can come and go and if you are still positive at 36 or 37 weeks I think it is, you'll have antibiotics in labour.my sister was like you and tested for something else in her last pregnancy and it was discovered she had strep b. this was at about 35 weeks. They sent her a letter to let her know she needed the antibiotics in labour but my nephew was born at 37 weeks and the letter came after he was born. Fortunately he was fine

Mrs student try not to worry hun. I think it's one of those things that is beat found out early on so they can take precautions and that's all it is chick. They give antibiotics during labour as a precaution. Xx

Probably still on the other threads. I'm not sure we have all the August and September ones either yet.
