My report came gbs positive and honestly i got scared seeing it. Doc explained quickly but i didnt fully understand. What does it actually mean for me and the baccha? im around 36 weeks. anyone went through this?
It just means you have Group B Strep bacteria, which is very common. The doctors know exactly how to handle it during delivery, so please don't stress.
GBS positive means you carry a common bacteria called Group B Strep. It is not a major issue, but do talk to your gynac and the hospital staff clearly about it. They will just give you IV antibiotics during labor to keep the baby safe.
Beta, don't worry, it is just a common bacteria that many women have. Home remedies won't cure this, so please follow your doctor's advice carefully. They will give you medicine during delivery to protect the little baby.
Just another test to add to our endless list, right? It basically means we need a quick antibiotic drip during labor to keep the baby safe from the bacteria. Nothing to lose sleep over!
I know hearing any "positive" test result during pregnancy sounds scary, but this is very manageable. It just means they will give you antibiotics when you go into labor. Just keep your hospital file updated and relax!
