Hey Mommas! I am a new mom, 37 weeks and 5 days. I tested positive for GBS. My plan was to labor at home until 5-1-1 but now they are saying that I must come in after my water breaks within 2 hours. I understand that I have to get the antibiotic etc. but would love to hear more experiences.
Any mommas that could share their positive birth stories or natural stories on how you were able to still cultivate the environment you wanted, how early you went in, how was baby and how penicillin affected your L&D?

I don’t feel like the antibiotics negatively affected my delivery at all. I got to walk around the hospital and I had a great birth experience. I was there for over 24 hours before pushing but that was due to other circumstances.

not everyone’s water breaks on it’s own at home. you can be in full blown labor for awhile without it breaking
