Group B Strep positive labor and baby

I was treated for group b strep. Stayed plenty mobile, no side effects. The way to have a healthy baby is to take the medicine. Most hospitals require you have an IV in during labor in case an emergency happens, you probably won't even notice the medicine during contractions honestly, I barely noticed anything.

I was GBS positive and had a very quick labor - I was only able to get 1 hour of antibiotics in rather than the recommended 4 hours. It was unmedicated labor. A little annoying being hooked up to the iv but the nurses and my husband helped me get in whatever positions I wanted. They kept us 42 hours in the hospital to monitor baby. The prolonged hosing stay was the hardest part… if you get the 4hours of antibiotics before your water breaks they won’t make you stay from my understanding.

As far as microbiome my pediatrician recommended probiotics and I also was taking probiotics before giving birth and currently taking them. I feel great.

Baby is healthy and happy just a little over a week old now.

I was GBS+ in 2 of my pregnancies which is why I requested to be induced as my previous labours have been really quick (4 hours after waters) I was allowed to be up and about as much as I wanted but did have IV antibiotics during labour, it can’t be passed to baby until waters have broken, I wasn’t GBS+ with my 5th but had precautionary antibiotics anyways at my own request but that labour was totally different to my others, 9 hours and hormone drip.

All my babies are absolutely fine they’re 11-9-5w2d, I did have to stay in for 24 hours tho so they could do obs on them x

It didn’t seem like a big deal tbh. They treated me with antibiotics as soon as I got situated at the hospital and that’s the last it was ever really even mentioned. It didn’t seem to have any effect on my child, to my knowledge anyway.
