clindamycin for gbs

Those women who test positive for GBS are said to be colonized. A mother can pass GBS to her baby during delivery. Which is why we have to have antibiotics during labor.

I have gbs, they give you penicillin. My doctor told me when contractions are 6 mins apart for an hour to go to the hospital. I'm sure they will run the penicillin until the baby is born because the antibiotics really aren't for you since its your normal flora not the baby's.

I had group b strep (GBS) with my second son and they just give you pennicilin in your iv during labor so they baby doesn't contract it. After the baby is out everything is fine. I had my son at 4:42pm and got out at 6:42pm the next day. No worries!

( please help!

Those women who test positive for GBS are said to be colonized. A mother can pass GBS to her baby during delivery. GBS is responsible for affecting about 1 in every 2,000 babies in the United States. Not every baby who is born to a mother who tests positive for GBS will become ill. I had it with pregnancy 2 and 3. It's a normal bacteria that ca be found on people's skin and in some women in gets inside their vagina but since its not harmful it isn't treated.

Gbs can affect pregnant women I've lost 2 baby's I've had it with both my pregnancys and more likely gonna happen again I'm a carrier of it its affected my pregnancys but it only affects some pregnant women and you only develop gbs in pregnancys and when you've had baby it goes just keep this in mind but dont worry it doesn't affect every pregnant women

Never have a 2nd testing. I have the testing for the strep test.

Yes she's sure. She got a culture of the blisters and it was gbs positive and my blood was still gbs positive and 0.2 for hsv. Lynn I couldn't see the website. Could you message me it? Please. Oh I thought it was amoxicillan but its ampicillin.

I wouldn't even treat for "possible infection" with either. I'd wait for test results to come back to see if you even have either of them. clindamycin isn't going to help for either if you should be infected with either of them. you are wasting your time and money by taking it.

GBS carriage is not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is GBS carriage a sign of ill health or poor hygiene. No one should ever feel guilty or dirty for carrying GBS – it’s normal. "Because GBS may be passed from one person to another by skin to skin contact, everyone (regardless of whether they know they carry GBS) should wash their hands properly and dry them properly before handling a newborn baby.

Hi there. Im currently 31weeks pregnant and have my GBS test coming up. I realise GBS a std. To be on the safe side i have been tested for all STDS besides trichmonias. I was wondering if i have to nag the docter to test for this aswell or if there was a infection such as this will it show up on my GBS swab test? Thankyou!

Hi my name is Steven and I am new to the board! I had GBS back in the summer of 2005 and made a full recovery.....at least my nerves did. So heres my problem. Ever since I had GBS I have been very sick. When I say sick, I don't mean the residual fatigue or peripheral nerve systems that persist after GBS, I mean sick as in feeling like I constantly have the flu, bad. It started when I was towards the end of my recovery which was about 5 months after my diagnosis.

If its inserting the epo, its not neccessary, it depends on individual, as for for the gbs test, its very neccessary to do it

Hi, Thank you for your question. In GBS there may be a decreased immunity, so you may experience symptoms due to other associated underlying disorders. Although there is no permanent cure for GBS, but treatment like plasmapheresis, physiotherapy, pain killer, blood thinners etc help reduce symptoms, treat complications, and speed up recovery. Please arrange an appointment with a neurologist who will evaluate the further possibilities here and can provide you an appropriate treatment.

I delivered my 4 th baby in the car and I was positive for gbs. My daughter turned out fine. She never got gbs from me.

Group B strep is normal. Every woman gets it on and off in their life it's just a matter that you're so close to delivery that it's a concern. Since you're positive they will give you an IV antibiotic when your labor starts to prevent passing it to your baby. There's nothing to stress about there. About a third of women in labor are treated for gbs. As for water breaking, there's no way you won't notice that.

I am 39 weeks and 6 days. I am GBS pos. My water broke at 2 am this morning. Now admitted into hospital now. Mild contraction with 1 cm dilation, but have bloody fluid. Please wish me good luck!

thank you for your answer. i have been doing some research of my own and i have a few questions to ask. when i was with child i had gbs they gave me medication at bith but i just found out that gbs can cause bowl problems, throat which i always seem to have mucus in my throat and blood infections. and that gbs is related to septic which is related to perechiae. can the wrong treatment of gbs be realted to any of my promlems i told you or petechiae?
