Hi, so I just got my results back and I’m positive for GBS. Was just curious how many of you that have had it have taken antibiotics for previous pregnancies and why? Like pros and cons for both.

Big con for me was that if my water broke before my labor started I’d have to have a hospital birth (to start the antibiotics) .. which of course happened and led to an induction and eventual csection which was absolutely not in my plans at all. I wouldn’t change getting the antibiotics though because it meant the risk of passing by anything to my baby was much lower.
Otherwise it had zero affect on my pregnancy.

I didn’t have to take anything throughout pregnancy actually. Just had me have 2 doses when I was in labor within a certain time order/process to prevent anything during birth
