Strep B During Pregnancy... Posted: 04-05-06 15:02pm
When I was 14 weeks pregnant I found out
that I have step b. I don't know anyone
who's had it and I really don't know much
about it. Has anyone out there had it?

i assume you are talking about the
bacteria that would be in your vagina? My
doctor just tested me for that, but she
says that about 50% of all women have it
and it's not bad for them. She said the
reason they test is because it would be
bad for the baby during delivery, so they
have to give you an antibiotic during the
delivery if you have it.
