Quoting 2007mommy2be:
L&D just called. My fetal fibro nectin test came back pos, which means pre term labor. BUT ... we already knew the test "might" come back positive becuz I had a suppository n me the night before (progesterine suppository). So that could be why, but they were hoping for a neg test. Also, for the first pregnancy ever my group strep b test came back pos so I have to go pick up an rx for amoxicillan. Sigh. Man I really need to take it easy!
Sounds like she is ready to come out ASAP.

Why are they giving you a scrip for antibiotics?

Quoting 1979mommy:I had the strep with either Beth or Cait (can't remember which one, they were so close together).
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a type of bacterial infection that can be found in a pregnant woman’s vagina or rectum. This bacteria is normally found in the vagina and/or rectum of about 25 % of all healthy, adult women.
Those women who test positive for GBS are said to be colonized. A mother can pass GBS to her baby during delivery. GBS is responsible for affecting about 1 in every 2,000 babies in the United States. Not every baby who is born to a mother who tests positive for GBS will become ill.
Although GBS is rare in pregnant women, the outcome can be severe, and therefore physicians include testing as a routine part of prenatal care.
The bacteria that causes group B strep normally lives in the intestine, vagina, or rectal areas. Group B strep colonization is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Approximately 25% of all healthy women carry group B strep bacteria. For most women there are no symptoms of carrying the GBS bacteria.
If you test positive for GBS this simply means that you are a carrier. Not every baby who is born to a mother who tests positive for GBS will become ill. Approximately one out of every 200 babies whose mothers carry GBS and are not treated with antibiotics, will develop signs and symptoms of GBS disease. There are, however, symptoms that may indicate that you are at a higher risk of delivering a baby with GBS. These symptoms include:
- Labor or rupture of membrane before 37 weeks
- Rupture of membrane 18 hours or more before delivery
- Fever during labor
- A urinary tract infection as a result of GBS during your pregnancy
- A previous baby with GBS disease
In this case your physician will want to use antibiotics for prevention and protection.
And if I remember correctly, (I'm thinking it was Beth) had to have a shot or something right after she was born since I had it, even though I had been treated.
