I am getting scared about delivery with group B strep. I was told last week that I am positive for it and would simply have an IV during delivery.
At first I thought, OK at least they know and are ready for it. But now IM worried about being on IV long enough, possible bad effects of being on IV and the effect early antibiotics will have on baby. No one wants an ill start for their baby. Perhaps I need to chill out?
This is my first baby, and Ive had it easy till now, and I hate that I am so negative right now. Please know, I am not interested in homeopathic methods of ridding GBS from me; i am looking for factual experiences involving using the IV and the results of doing so.
Ive read too much about antibiotics being harmful to a newborn, resulting in lifelong problems. But i am not willing to not use them and risk infection of GBS.
Please, let me know if you have had a delivery on antibiotics for GBS, and how it went and if your baby had problems later so I can be realistic about this. Be honest! Thanks for your time!!
