    Staph....dammit!

    Had my 37 week appt. on Wed and was told I had GBS (which I am not at all worried about) and Staph........
    I can't find any threads on staph....so was wondering what I need to know about it for pregnant women? I know everyone carries it, but not sure about those who it actually infects....
    As I used to work in Aged Care I asked if I would have got it from work, but was told no. I asked if it was MRSA and she said no...but having just googled 'what is staph?', the medical sites say it IS MRSA? What's the go?
    My midwife said I didn't need any injections for it now or during labour, so that's nice.
    Any info would be appreciated though.
    Ta.
