Group B Strep
Did anyone have this? If so, did you have a c-section?
I read that you can still deliver vaginally but they will put you on antibiotics, most likely penicillin, during labor. I am highly allergic to penicillin so I wouldn't be able to do it.

Re: Group B Strep
There are alternatives to penicillin if you're allergic usually clindamycin. There is no need to have a c/sect just because your group b strep is positive you just have to make sure that if your water breaks or you go into labor you get to the hospital right away to get your antibiotics

Re: Group B Strep
I was GB+ and allergic to pennicillin. They used a different antibiotic and I didn't have a c-section.

Re: Group B Strep
I had Group B strep, and I'm allergic to penicillin, and I know they gave me something different for it in the hospital, dont remember what is was though. I did have a c-section, but not because of that, I also had preclamsia.

Re: Group B Strep
Thank you very much for your help!  I'm so happy that there are other alternatives to penicilin.
