I'm 9weeks pregnant. Last week I went to the doctors sure I had some sort of infection, she dipped my urine which came back fine and I also requested a swab to be on the safe side in case it was thrush.
Results came back today, Dr phoned to say I tested positive for Group B Strep. Prescribed me antibiotics but also said I'd need some during Labour because my baby could get infected!? And that can even cause very serious problems for the baby.
I'm freaking out!
Will the antibiotics prescribed not cure the infection now!? Why would I need more in Labour if I'm having some now?
