I'm 32+3 with dc 2 and I had a routine midwife appointment on Monday and did the normal urine drip test and found some protein in the urine so sent it off for testing as normal.
But today she called to say that I am positive with Group B strep.
I had not even heard of this before and have been googling but need some straight forward answers if possible please.
Basically midwife said I have to call in the doctors tomorrow and pick up a prescription for antibiotics. Will these antibiotics fully treat the strep?
I have another midwife appt in 2 weeks so will have to do another urine sample. Will this one be sent off to check if the infection has cleared?
The one thing she said that really scared me was that when I go in labor I have to ring the hospital and tell them to get a drip ready for the antibiotics, but my last labor with dd was extremely quick. About 2 hours. I know each labor is different but the general opinion is that the 2nd is generally quicker so If that is the case what happens?
