Hi there
I just received a letter in the post from nhs telling me I've tested positive for group b strep. I am feeling very down about this and wondered if there are any experts out there that know anything about the following :
Is it possible to do anything to make it go away before birth (I'm 26 wks preg at moment)
Do the antibiotics given to me and/or baby completely remove this risk of it being passed to baby?
I had a very short 1st labour so it is unlikely I'll get the antibiotics 4 hours before delivery. Does this mean both baby any I would need? When baby gets them do they need to be in isolation and won't I be able to breast feed?
Final question- do the antibiotics given affect breast feeding?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm really down about this and thought if anyone out there knew answers to the above it might help resssure me until MW appointment on 21st
Thank you
