Avatar f tn My doc sAid everyone does get tested for it n she'll be testing me on my next appointment at 35 weeks. I basically she'll take a swap in your vagina n rectum to check for any bacteria. She said the bacteria is normal for us but not safe for the baby. N if there is bacteria, they'll just give me antibiotics during or before delivery.

Avatar f tn They do the test to see if you have a certain infection/strep. If you do they give you a shot during labor. My doc does it around 36 weeks.
Avatar f tn Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a type of bacterial infection that can be found in a pregnant woman’s vagina or rectum. This bacteria is normally found in the vagina and/or rectum of about 25 % of all healthy, adult women. Those women who test positive for GBS are said to be colonized. A mother can pass GBS to her baby during delivery. The bacteria that causes group B strep normally lives in the intestine, vagina, or rectal areas.
Avatar m tn / Now I am really freaking out that when he did the cervical exam, it caused the bacteria to go up my birth canal and will cause an uterine infection which will have bad consequences for my love bug. I'm not mad about the exam, I realize it needed to be done incase the infection was causing preterm labor. My question is 2 fold. One if my cervix is closed, does that mean he couldn't get his finger up my cervical canal?

Avatar f tn I tested positive for strep b and this is my second child. I don't remember testing positive with my first son. Will I always test positive for it? How did I get it, does it go away?
Avatar n tn Is it kind of like a uti infection? Just don't know alot about it and the nurse wasn't very informative just know that they will have to give me anti biotics during labor through iv.
Avatar f tn Strep B is SO common. As many as 4 women out of 10 have this and it's in their vagina and rectum. Every pregnant woman gets tested for it before giving birth it is so common. The vast majority of the time, it is harmless and causes no issues. But I suppose it can.
1110718 tn?1258435594 ) The antibodies somehow mistake the ganglia for the strep infection. If you think your child has strep or has been exposed.... get a Titer count test. This is how the Drs. tell if your child has strep and it shows the level of strep-antibodies in your child's system. Your child may show absolutely zero signs of STREP or illness but still have it. Also, peanut butter, dairy, wheat, asthma medications may set off behavior issues or OCD or exacerbate the effect of the strep reaction.
Avatar f tn What is a strep b? What do they look for? What do they do?
Avatar f tn It's a type of bacterial Infection that can be found In your vag or rectum and can get passed to baby during delivery. What the doctors will do, Is they will swab your vag and rectum. It's very rare, but also a possibility so they test for It juss In case. More Info about It can be found here: american pregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/groupbstrepinfection.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I am aware that the rectum is your butt. I was saying that I don't think it necessarily goes in your but they just swab around it.
8856671 tn?1404143983 I have the group strep b test on Thursday and want to know what all they'll be doing?
8628831 tn?1407267564 They found out I was positive for it in my urine at 33 weeks
Avatar f tn It is a common strep bacteria that like one in 4 women have in their vaginal/rectum area, that causes no problems to the women. However the baby can contract it at birth and it can cause serious infection and even death int he baby. But if you are given iv antibiotics when your water breaks it helps the infection not to pass to the baby.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if they still do the strep b testing by swabbing your butt hole? Im kinda freaked about it.
Avatar m tn it's a Strep, not Staph, infection. I know that Amox. is used to treat strep infections... we'll see if it works. I'll get restested in a few weeks.
9523089 tn?1414211966 What is strep test? When is it performed? It's been a while since my last pregnancy and I don't recall it to be honest TIA...
2132141 tn?1335678074 m on antibiotics. A quick google search said strep B is a bacterial infection normally found in the vagina and/or rectum of about 25% of all healthy, adult women. It was about 5 months since I was with my fiance and the oral sex was very brief, but that sounds like the best explanation for how I got strep B (we didn't go any further than oral sex).
Avatar f tn Tomorrow morning I go get a swab done for strep B. I was wondering what too expect. It is like a papsmear? And my doctor said it was common. Is it seriously? I just feel nervous when it comes too spreading my legs. LOL it took about 5 months for me too feel comfortable around my hubby even. I don't know why. I'm just so much of a ' private ' person.
Avatar f tn Can someone tell me about the swab test?? 36 weeks and 3 days, I'm just nervous, does the doctor enter your rectum?? Does he enter your vag??? Or is it the swab of the outside??? I'm really not comfy with people.looking at my vag! Can someone help me get over that fear?!
Avatar f tn Next week I have the strep b test. I will be 36 weeks by that time. What do they exactly do when they do the strep b test. ?
Avatar f tn Its just a swab in between the rectum and vag I freaked out almost passed out for nothing and it was nothing no pain at all
Avatar f tn If your daughter is in school or has exposure to children, she could have been exposed to Strep. Typically, children 3 and under do not get strep so that's why she has not had it before. My doctor said that in goes right through the body and can end of in the private parts. I sure hope you didn't jump to conclusions. Your poor ex-husband.
