Lucky me tested postive too . From what I was told and have read, basically it is a bacteria that can cause a life threatening infection in your newborn if you don't get the anti-biotics. I was told that it is very rare for the baby to get infected though.

Strep B can cause your baby an infection of the bloodstream or meningitis and can cause pneumonia. You should be given two lots of anti-biotics at 4 hours apart during labour and all should be OK. If you have the baby before all the anti-biotics are given, they just monitor your bub for a while to make sure they are showing no signs of infection.

I was told that if my waters break I have to go straight to the hospital to get a drip put in for anti-biotics and they would need to induce me. I have my fingers crossed that my waters don't break until labour is well established!

Hope this info helps. I'm sure there is someone much more knowledgeable out there than me that can be of more help! Otherwise, try Googling it. Best of luck!
