Re: ab cerlage and Group B strep infection

Yes Marie, treating any infection before pregnancy would be in your

best interest. Although, I didn't have an infection when I went

into premature labor they always were testing me for it.

So with Group B Strep can it be treated before pregnancy?

Yes GBS is one of the infections that can cause PTL and should be checked

for on a regular basis. Generally they will treat you with anti-biotics and

if you are still +ve for it when baby is due they will do a repeat anti-biotic

and if I'm not mistaken they give the baby anti-biotics just after birth

as well

Shona Wilke,

Thank you so much for the information. I am so worried about this. Do you know how you get GBS in the first place?

I'm not 100% sure how you get it. I just know that it is one of the tests

that the girls on the PROM list talk about getting tested for a lot because

it can cause problems if not detected. That being said I know there are a

couple of ladies here that have tested positive for it and have been treated

and have been fine. I think Trish might have been one of them.

Group B Strep is a naturally occuring bacteria in your body...in some people (about a third of the population), it "colonizes". From what I understand also, just because one wasn't GBS positive in a previous pregnancy, doesn't mean you won't in a subsequent pregnancy.
