Group B Strep - should I be worrried?

[partyhats]

I am 17 weeks with DC3. Just had an appt with midwife who says that a urine test I had back in Jan when I had a urine infetion and was not pregnant showed that I was carrying GBS. She did not seem too concerned and gave me a leaflet about it and told me that I would need IV antibiotics in labour. I was never tested with my previous 2, did I have it then without realising?.
Does anyone have any experience of this? I am worried having read the leaflet, seems quite serious and will the antibiotics affect the baby?

I had it and had the ABs with the 4 year old who is hanging around the door here... Don't worry in the least!

Me too with my second Dc. Had the AB's in labour and she's 3.6 now.
I too was worried about it though and Googled furiously, phoned friends who 'might know' etc, but it was all fine in the end. Good luck.

thanks for putting my mind at rest!

i had it with my ds, had the ab's during labour etc. no problems.

tested negative with dd but had the abs again anyway.

mw has told me this time that i wont need the ab's but will need to be monitored for a while after delivering.

really nothing to worry about
