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.
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.
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...
m high risk) with my Dr on Monday and based on my response to some questions she asked, she tested me for Group B Strep. I just got the call that I have very high levels of it and I am going to be treated with antibiotics. I was tested at 12 weeks and that came back negative. But now I have it, *sigh*. My question is - have any of you experienced this? What can I expect in the future, especially with labor and delivery?
Group B streptococcus, or GBS, also known as group B strep, is one of many different bacteria that normally live in our bodies. Approximately one third of us "carry" GBS in our intestines without knowing.
About a quarter of women also have it in their vagina (RCOG 2003:1). Most don't know it's there, as it doesn't usually cause problems or symptoms.
However, in rare cases GBS can cause serious illness and even death in newborn babies.
I got a phone call from my midwife this morning to come in that I needed to take antibiotics and I went in and the doctor told me I have group b strep! He told me it's nothing to worry about because we are treating it but he didn't give me any information I asked him what causes it he just kept saying it's common about 25% of population have it without knowing!
Has any one tested positive and scared a lil and what happens
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?
Doctors all day that group b strep can’t cause symptoms, but I never had it before this (I was swabbed when pregnant) and so it’s a bit of a coincidence. They’ve suggested Desquamative vaginitis, but that was a guess. I’ve just started clindamycin vaginal cream and it doesn’t seem to be making any difference.
I don’t know how I can go on living like this, being in permanent pain with no cure.
