Hello,

My best friend is currently expecting her first baby and she has tested positive to having the Strep B thing they test for... .which means she will need to contact the hospital as soon as her waters break so they can administer antibiotics and she then has to have then throughout her labour. Does this mean she will not be able to have a active labour ? In other words she will be stuck on the bed the whole time she is in labour?

My next questions i am currently pregnant with my third baby and have never even been offered to have the Strep B test , i have no idea why it has never been offered and am wondering where during the pregnancy should this test be done ? If i dont get offered it would it be in my unborn babys and my best interest to ask to have it done?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
