Group a strep infection pregnancy
Common Questions and Answers about Group a strep infection pregnancy
infection
I had one daughter at 37 weeks and one on her due date with group b strep. My dr never told me it caused early labor and I've never had a bladder infection or a uti in my life. The antibiotics aren't going to do anything really. Its a bacteria that lives in you and is completely harmless to us.
Group b strep is just a type of bacteria that lives in some womens' vaginas. It's harmless to us and our partners but it can be dangerous to the baby if left untreated when giving birth. It can change from pregnancy to pregnancy so one time a woman may have it and the next time she may not, or both times or not at all. It is treated during labor if a woman has it. It doesn't require an induction or c-section.
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.
Ah just found out I have group B strep infection and freaking out. Dr said it's mild case and put me on antibiotics but I'm still scared that it could cause damage to bubs. I'm 7 weeks by the way? Anyone else is in the same situation?
Agreed^ and when they test you it's usually colonized meaning it's just in your body at that time. I'm almost 11 weeks postpartum and I actually just got Strep B but an infection so I'm on a high dose of antibiotics. During pregnancy it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but if you were to get it not being pregnant, it can be serious, I actually knew someone who got sepsis, which is Strep B in her blood and died...
It is pretty unlikely that the group B strep is causing difficulties. Group B strep is a bacteria that is pretty common - present in up to 20%% of women from time to time, and rarely if ever leads to an infection that causes infertility. Since it comes and goes, you may even have had group B strep in the past. How long ago was the miscarriage? If only a few months ago, I recommend continuing to try. If the miscarriage was a year or more ago, you should see an infertility specialist.

It is routine for doctors to test all women between 35-37 weeks for Group B strep because about 25% of of women have it. Your doc tested you early because you were high risk. You doc till treat you with antibiotics now and probably test you again later to keep an eye on it.
I tested positive during the 35th week screening at one of my regular prenatal visits.

But although some people can carry Strep B in there below area. I would still see your GP!
Those women who test positive for GBS are said to be colonized The bacteria that causes group B strep normally lives in the intestine, vagina, or rectal areas. Group B strep colonization is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Approximately 25% of all healthy women carry group B strep bacteria.
now. Because you have a Group B strep UTI you should automatically receive antibiotics when you are in labor. Penicillin G is one option. Until your membranes rupture there is little chance that the bacteria will enter the uterus because the mucus plug and membranes are a natural barrier to infection. You probably had the bacteria in the vagina and cervix before the exam--because if it is in the bladder that means it is very likely in the rectum/vagina too.

I was just pregnant but the pregnancy ended in week 9 ,,,no heat beat, When I was pregant i had a culture done and came back group b strep I have always had vaginal cultures and were always negative for group b strep and std. The worst i have had was yeast infections.
I had a D&C proceedure since the pregnancy did not go well, had another culture done and came back positive for group b strp w/ a little yeast.
