Avatar f tn Anyone else not have Group B Strep in their previous pregnancies and then get a positive test for it during one? Ive never had a positive result for Group B before with my other pregnancies but I do with this one. My Dr said its common hence why they test for it all the time but Im just curious.
Avatar n tn I’m looking into group B strep since my new sexual partner was diagnosed with a group B Strep infection. His symptoms of the throat sound similar to yours. He has a very sore throat with bumps/blisters. He went to urgent care, they did s quick test for group A strep (regular “strep throat”) which came back negative. They told him that he most likely had s Vidal infection, took a culture, and would contact him in a couple days. The results came back that he has group b strep.
Avatar f tn So my last appointment I found out I was a carrier of group b strep:/ and I am kinda worried I'm allergic to antibiotics and worried the medications she wants to give me while in delivery won't work as good or the same as a antibiotic. Its bad enough I'm a germ freak and made my family and bfs family get the tdap shot now this!? Anyone else have to deal with group b strep?
Avatar f tn This is my second pregnancy, with my first one everything was fine but with this one I tested positive for the group b strep! I am very worried and can't stop thinking about it. I researched it and wants mortified with what I found out about it. I am terrified! Has anyone else dealt with this?
Avatar f tn Hey ladies I'm a ftm & my online results for my group b strep test just came back ... It was positive , what does this mean ?
7249862 tn?1392252689 I agree with Alexandria.I would go as sok as labor starts I also have group b strep and my Dr isn't concerned unless I don't get antibitocs. Women r all carriers of group b strep its in our bodies just during pregnancy it comes out in certain women. I didn't have it with my first son but I have it now with my second.
3062924 tn?1350414109 I have 2 boys and I also was a carrier for group b strep, not a big deal, while your in labour they'll hook pen g into your IV so it will have no affect on your baby :)
666089 tn?1260520261 so if any of your have tested posative for group b strep can you tell me how your labour went?..what was done differnt? was the baby ok?....and any other info you could on the subject! im a first time mom so all of this is new to me and everything makes me worried!
Avatar f tn I ent harmful to everyone ive had it 3times now but with my other 2 it affected those pregnancy and my both daughters passed away group b strep broke my water bag at 12 weeks and then i gave birth at 23 weeks and my daugther had an infection plus the group b strep aswell and my other daugther who i had at 21weeks and 6daysi just went into labour at first i didnt know why it happened and but i knew straight away group b strep my mom also had it and lost my brother at 4months im now expecting my
Avatar f tn ve tested for it your considered colonized by the strep b bacteria and it will most likely not go away and stay away with meds now. Your supposed to be put on iv antibiotics during labor to kill of bacteria then so it doesn't pass to baby as it moves through the birth canal.
Avatar f tn Its more of a bacteria kind of thing. I have strep b and have had it for years and never once had that happen. I would contract your doctor.
Avatar m tn If so then the virudans strep could also be the problem and viridans strep are more resistant to antibiotics. But I would check with your doctor on this and see if the Strep group B and Viridans strep were sensitive to Levoflaxacin. If they are it may be a suitable substitute. Why do you want to stop the Ciprofloxacin or switch? Do you have another problem you want to treat in addition to the urinary tract infection and prostate or is the cipro not working?
Avatar n tn Has any moms on here tested positive for group B strep im on my second pregnancy and just found out i tested positive my first pregnancy i did not im really worried for my baby has any one deliverd a healthy baby im so worried reading all the complications
Avatar f tn Every woman has group B Strep (it's part of the natural microflora that inhabits your vagina), but they are actually testing for levels of the bacteria. When you test positive, it means you have a higher than optimal bacteria count. It's not a problem at all when treated with antibiotics, which will bring the count to a normal level. It typically doesn't even cause problems when untreated, but it can. It's more of a precaution than anything.
2006603 tn?1331329327 I am 37 weeks and last thursday i was tested for the group b strep and they said it would take about a week to get the results back, i have another doc appt this thursday and im assuming they will tell me the results then but i have a few questions that i forgot to ask my doc. I was just wondering if group b strep is something that you just get when pregnant sometimes? How do you get it? Is it like a STD? Any info would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn I just received my Group B Strep test results and it says DETECTED!!! I have have had 3 healthy pregnancies and never had a problem with Group B. What do I do? What should I expect?
Avatar f tn They would be testing to see if you have group b strep. If you have it they will give you antibiotics. It can pass to the baby during labour and can be fatal for baby if baby gets it.
Avatar f tn So my doctor told me today that my test came out positive. I didn't have group b strep with my first and don't really know much other than I'll need antibiotics during delivery. I've been doing a little research but it doesn't say anything about if I will be able to have an epidural as well as have the antibiotics.
Avatar f tn So today I was told by my midwife that I have tested positive for group B strep. She didn't really explain what it is and told me not to google it. I planned on giving birth In a birthing centre but I'm aware I would have to be on antibiotics through intravenous drip when my waters break. Does anyone have any info on group b strep? What it is? I'm curious to know, but sometimes things on google are exaggerated.
Avatar f tn So im kinda nervous bc i have my group b strep test on monday. i just want to know what to expect and how fast the results come back.
Avatar f tn They got me started on IV antibiotics when I was admitted and nice and snug in my delivery room and it just prevents baby from contracting the bacteria from you when they pass through the cervix. Both myself and my son were great and stayed the normal length of time at the hospital. My doctor told me they do want to make sure the antibiotic is in you at least 4 hours before delivery, so don't wait it out at home forever just to lessen time in the hospital.
Avatar n tn I was told at 12 weeks that I had it. And I have no problems. My doctor just said that if I get more than 6 braxton hicks in an hour (the painful ones) or my water breaks I need to go in immediately to get the IV antibiotics. But really as long as you have them for 4 hours you will be fine.
Avatar f tn This may seem like a crazy question, but what exactly is group b strep? Lol im a ftm and keep seeing posts about it and was curious.
