Q: Strep B During Pregnancy...

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.
