could you take a course of antibiotics now to get rid of it and get another swab in 1-2 weeks which will hopefully be all clear and then you can continue on with your well thought out plans ?
or if you cant have antibiotics now can you have another swab in a week to check as it is transient and might be gone by then
Yeah MM, I asked my MW about that but he said, ummm, yeah, it’s just not really “done” like that, because it can come and go, I could be negative at 39-40 weeks anyway. but the chances are if I’ve got it now I’ll have it then. To give the baby the least chance of picking up Strep B (and then possibly getting an infection from it) IV antibiotics need to be given for at least two hours before birth, but even then it depends on exactly when the waters broke and how the labour progressed AND most importantly, the “health and vigour” of the bub?
