Group Strep B Posted: 01-30-07 21:26pm
The nurse called and said that I am not
positive for group strep b. I am confused
because I was positive when I was pregnant
with my three year old. I thought once
you have it, you always have it. I am
very happy I don't have it, though. I am
just confused.
I tried looking it up on the internet and
couldn't find the answer.

"should women who have had a previous gbs
positive baby have more children?
Women who have had problems due to gbs in
the past should inform their prenatal care
provider and pediatrician. Gbs infections
can be prevented and managed in subsequent
pregnancies so that babies are protected
and born healthy and free of gbs."

Thanks for that link.
I did not have a gbs baby, but I was
positive for gbs and had antibiotics one
hour before I delivered my three year old.
I still didn't see anything in that link
stating that someone who is pregnant can
be positive in one pregnancy and negative
in the other or vise versa.
I am just wondering if the results are
correct. This is very important in my
situation because I promed (premature
rupture of membranes) so early in
pregnancy. Of course, we will never know
if it's because I had a twin in a
different sac or I just miraculously
healed. If it was the latter, than I need
to be concerned about the strep b because
my baby was exposed and I wasn't given
antibotics. Since I was just tested
negative, they said there was no reason
for antibotics. So, I am just
confused....Again, I thought once you had
it, you always do.
I will see my doctor next week and will
ask her. I am sure she has answers but I
am obsessing about it.
I had it with joseph and not this time
around, thats what I thought once ya had
it u got it forever, I but then again im
not sure if they did the group b strep
test unless they did it early in my
pregnancy. But I had no antibiotics when
jordynne was born and she came out fine
and im fine so eh who knows
