I tested +ive with DS and was given IV antibiotics. Like everyone has said it is very common, and i can see why if your waters broke they may want to sped things along, but not sure why the antibiotics wouldnt keep working. Strep B although very common is life threatening to babies we just had a court case very recently at a WA hospital because a baby died from strep B, when a simple dose of antib's would have prevented this and although i dont want to scaremonger it is such a preventable thing, why would you take a risk?
Do you think I could ask for another swab to be done in a couple of weeks if there is a chance of it being negative then I`d rather not have to deal with antibs and staying in hospital after longer than I might want?
yeah i think if you dont want AB's then get another swab done. I dont think having the AB's would extend your hospital stay though. I'm pretty sure my BF who had a natural VB had oral AB's and was given the ok to leave the following day, maybe suss out that option if you dont want the IV.
