Group B strep?!

Hi all
Has anyone else got this? I had an internal examination 10days ago with a speculum and after that started getting an offensive smell in my privates, had a swab and urine test at my GP, 2 days later results came back saying I have group b strep.
As I'm having a c section I've been told not to worry however if i went into labour before my date I'd need intravenas antibiotics on the day.
Was a bit dissapointed I can't have them now to clear this up as the smell has not gone, I'm vomiting daily and feel horrendous in my final 3 weeks but the midwife said this is all OK.
Anyone else had this issue at all?
Xxx

Also does anyone understand how you get this? I can only think of 2 things:
I've had horrific piles and constipation for months now and using lots of ointments, could this be the cause?
Or... A month ago I started using fragranced wipes because of the piles instead of loo roll.. Could the pH in this have caused an infection? Xx

Group b strep can live harmlessly in the body. However if you have symptoms I’d see a GP for advice?

O.s I am positive for it but no babies en route so it’s not a problem. No symptoms.
