Group B strep and antibiotics in labour

[Me+him+bub]

hi there! IV's are awful! i prefer giving them to having them, but most docs will insist, although you DO have the right to say no. even if not being administered antibiotics often you will still get a line in as a precaution, something may go wrong in labour and may need emergency C sec and if they are spending precious time finding a vein there could be trouble! in medicine something is only done if it outweighs the risk of not having the procedure, the less that has to be done the better so if they feel its necessary there must be a reason y. i wish you luck! plus strep b is nasty you dont want bub having it. strep B is very common too!
