What was the birth like hun??? or did they give you antibiotics??

I have strep B they only found out whilst into the pushing stage of labour with my DS as i had a really bad time, shaking uncontrolbly, going in and out of unconciucness it was arwfull yet as soon as they gave me antibiotics i was fine, but me and baby had to spend 7 days in hospital still on iv antibiotics before we could come home.

Strep b is normal bacteria everyone has, some people it effect others it does'nt, if you have had strep b before and you get preg again you will have to have the antibiotics as soon as labour starts until babs is delivered.

dont know full details of it, but hope this helps abit...
