Antibiotics for Group B Streptococcus (GBS)

My GP has put me on antibiotics for GBS. I'm terrified. I just want the best for my baby. I feel like it's all my fault. I'm worried that the antibiotics or the GBS will harm my child 😞

I have this too. It’s the safest infection you can have pregnant, and is so common. Normally it doesn’t need treating until your waters break, as when baby travels down the vagina channel that’s when they’d pick it up (during delivery). Is there a reason your docs have wanted it treated now? You’ll be okay ❤️

I had this in 2 previous pregnancies. Absolutely nothing to worry about. I had IV antibiotics during labour. Both babies were healthy and absolutely no issues at all for me or them.

From what I remember its extremely common. Ive had to take strong antibiotics for a different reason in a previous pregnancy and all was completely fine x

Early labour?

I think I may be in early labour, I’ve been having contractions since Thursday morning at half 11 but they stop then start up again a few hours later, I’ve also been leaking fluid. I also wiped just and there’s like a yellow-green snot like discharge thing on the wipe. Not sure as I’m a FTM and I’m only 36 weeks pregnant.

Feeling movements

My baby boy’s due on 4 April (so I’m 16+6 today) and I’m sure over the past few days I’ve been able to feel a few small movements / flutters.

It’s so hard to differentiate though (I keep thinking is it just gas / belly rumbles or is it him kicking)

Is anyone else feeling anything at this stage? Xx
