Hi Girls
Here are a couple of suggestions that you may want to try instead of the antibiotics.

~ Strep B Douche (vaginal irrigation)
One part 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to four parts water (Hydrogen peroxide kills Strep B on contact, however, NEVER treat with undiluted Hydrogen Peroxide-too strong!))
Douche or irrigate once a day, for six days.
Also clean labia with same solution twice daily for all six days.
Optional additions to solution above:
3-4 drops of Tea Tree essential oil
30 drops of Barberry tincture




Oral Preparation for Group B Strep, begin at 36 weeks gestation:
One part Barberry tincture
One part Astragalus tincture
One part Oregon Grape Seed tincture
Two parts Usnea tincture

Mix and store in amber bottle away from light. Take one dropperful (about 90 drops) twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening until labor begins. Combine with above douche treatment.

Garlic Protocol
Peel and score/nick one garlic clove and insert vaginally for five-seven nights in a row. The more scores or nicks the better, as it is the garlic 'juice' that does the work. However, some women experience irritation with greater exposure to garlic 'juice'. So start with fewer nicks or scoring and build up from there. Start this protocol five – seven nights before the test date for the GBS swab. The test will be negative and the vaginal vault will be clear of GBS for four – six weeks.

Now that all this has been laid out, a few other things factor into this issue... the assumption that you will have a long labor with ruptured membranes. The longer the exposure in the birth path, the greater the risk of all kinds of microbes taking hold. So, no one can predict if your will start labor with ruptured membranes, nor can anyone predict the length of your labor. You could have a long labor, but with the bag intact until moments before birth... very little risk of exposure with that scenario.
So, consider that a few nights of douching or garlic insertion is far better for everyone involved than IV antibiotics, the side-effects and the fear and worry about the health of the baby, having to have the baby kept at the hospital for 48 hours while the GBS test grows out— a baby that is most likely not going to be exposed in the first place—especially if it is at term and the mother has eaten well throughout her pregnancy.

Chlorhexidine Douche
A solution of 0.2% chlorhexidine must be used. The hospital stocks a 0.5% solution.
To make a 0.2% solution from 100ml of 0.5% add 150mls of sterile water to this solution and shake it up well.
The solution should be syringed into the vagina at a low pressure; this would be best done with a 50ml Toomey syringe or a 20ml standard syringe.
The dose is 120mls every six hours.
