Thanks for the reassurance! With my first delivery, it was a C-section, and I'm planning on having another C-section for this baby, if all goes well. Not sure if I would still get IV antibiotics if I still tested positive closer to delivery. I was going nuts on the internet reading about all the stuff related to miscarriage and pre-term labor. Glad to hear about the positive outcomes. Thanks, again! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-1590907 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:00:17 +0000 winniebee 1590907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMangoMochi: gbs is super common!! I did take the antibiotic at 8 wks but still tested positive for it at 36 or so weeks. So it's definitely not a one or the other situation though I'm sure some women can clear it at 8 wks and never need the antibiotics during labor. I had to have iv of antibiotics for I think 3-4 hours before delivering. If was a total non issue Bc I wanted a hospital birth with an epidural anyways. Try not to worry about it it's really not a big deal (though I thought it was at the time!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-1590857 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:53:42 +0000 MrsMangoMochi 1590857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: p.s. I think you are on the Dec 2014 pregnancy board with me, too! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-1590843 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:51:51 +0000 MrsMangoMochi 1590843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Hi. I know this is an old post, but I was searching topics on GBS. I'm 8 weeks and 3 days along today and got a call back from the doc's office saying that my urine sample tested positive for GBS and the doc prescribed Amoxicillin. She advised me that I could take it now or wait until the second trimester. I wanted to know how everything turned out for you, if you don't mind sharing. I'm freaking out a little and would like some reassurance that it would be fine to take it now. I am, also, somewhat relieved that GBS is more common than I thought. I didn't have GBS with my first, so this is new to me. Thanks for your help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-133408 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:29:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 133408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife gave me options, other than antibiotics - in the case that I had it, which I didn't.</p> <p>You can do a yogurt douche once you're in labor, or choose to do antibiotics ONLY if risk factors present themselves (which is what I would have done). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-133405 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:22:10 +0000 His Barista 133405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested positive at 36 weeks.

The doctor said its no big deal and I'll just receive an antibiotic for it during labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-112256 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:23:29 +0000 winniebee 112256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested positive for it at 8 weeks (they weren't sure if it was actual Group B or whether I had contaminated my urine sample). They treated with amoxicillin then and it cleared. I think I'll be tested again @ 36 weeks, not sure if I will have to have antibiotics during delivery yet. You get IV anyways during delivery and I'm told they will just give me antibiotics that way if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-112254 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:23:04 +0000 heffalump 112254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But I hear it's not a huge deal, they just give you some meds when delivering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-112253 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:22:57 +0000 Mrsbells 112253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my group b test came back negative but from what my doctor told me its not a big deal if it was positive, it just means that once you go into labor they have to give you antibiotics through an IV </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gbs-1#post-112248 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:21:20 +0000 MamaMoose 112248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, OK.
