I was negative for my DD 3 years ago .
This pregnancy it came back in a urine test as positive for GBS at around 11 weeks ...I have been told by one MW that I must have antibiotics blah blah ... And another MW that she doesn't like antibiotics given just for the sake of it and as GBS is a come and go bacteria that testing it pointless ..
I have done so much research on it all , and feel I know a lot about the bacteria , and what can happen etc , I have read up on the odds of passing it to baby and babies health risks ..
But as I am getting closer to the birth , I am 30w 5d.. I am starting to get more nervous and doubting myself and everything I have read and know..
-I don't know if I want antibiotics during labour as I don't feel comfortable dosing a newborn baby up with drugs and ruining its immune system and defense against illness
-but then I am worried if I don't have them , Bub may get it and the worst cases keep playing on my mind

I always said if my swab at 36 weeks came back negative and my waters didn't break hours early and if If labour wasn't premature then I would decline them and do the wait and watch but now I am jut worried about everything .
This baby took a long time to come and I am so worried ...

Another thing that is worst case but I know that Meningococcal is a worst case for baby who picks up gbs ,and what concerns me is my 3 year old hasn't had the vaccine for that . Could Bub pass it on to my DD? We were doing delayed vaccination , should I go as get this needle now for my DD? Is it safe to get this done while I am pregnant ? As I know some like MMR is live and not recommended ..


Sorry for the long post , if anyone has been through any of this ,if you had antibiotics during labour what happened after to Bub ? We're they sick in any way from the antibiotics ?... have you had GBS did you have or not have antibiotics , tried natural methods of getting rid of it I would love to hear from you ..
