Hi, I'm 39 weeks +2 & I've just tested positive for Strep B. I had a swab taken last week as I'd mentioned to the midwife about having more discharge than usual & she thought it would be best to send it off to check it. My urine sample came back clear, but my swab didn't. I'm absolutely deverstated to have it. I know a little about it from speaking to my midwife & researching but I was wondering is there anyone out there who has it? Had it in pregnancy or has any advice etc? I'm scared I really am. I'm scared somethings going to happen to our baby. I know I'll have to have antibiotics during labour...but what if it's too late? or I labour too fast & don't have time. I know they are all what ifs & I can't control what happens but I know no one who's had it or has it & was just looking to write it down somewhere & try & understand it. This is our first pregnancy & a much wanted one, we are so excited to have our baby girl & we are so close (I'm 2cm dilated, but have been for the last 2 weeks with no signs of anything yet.) but I feel like we're so far away now. I know I'm just going on but I just needed too. Any advice or experience would be great to hear. Thank you for letting me just go on. I really appreciate it.
