Positive for GBS

Hey ladies! This is my first pregnancy and my test came back positive for group B strep. Ironically I ended up with a UTI the same day the test was done and I have read that is a symptom of having group B strep. Currently on a 10-day course of antibiotics for the UTI and will discuss the positive results at my next OB appointment on Monday. Just curious if anyone has ever experienced a similar situation and what your experience was like if you were positive for GBS in a previous pregnancy. Thanks in advance!!

this is a genuine question but how do you get Uti ? like is it genetics?

@Jess when you hold your pee a lot which is common during pregnancy since we have to pee a lot

I was positive for GBS my first pregnancy they’ll just administer antibiotics through your IV when you go into labor

@Vinesha you fr? i did not know that omg

I was positive when they did the test on me at 8 weeks- the problem with this test is it can change/ Read positive and negative and different times… Normally they want to give you an antibiotic when you go into labor. Thing with that is it’s Not 100% that it would work on baby so some people don’t do it- also the baby actually getting something bad is rare, ( no other country tests for this) but if they do contract it it can be bad… so you kinda just have to weigh the risks
