Scary Strep B

One of the episodes of The Learning Channel’s — Baby Story had a couple who had lost their baby girl after 17 days. The mom had been diagnosed with Group Strep B early in the pregnancy and all antibiotics had been taken, but for some reason, the baby still became infected, and died shortly.

I was told I had GSB in my fourth month. My doctor has reassured me that the antibiotics I’ve had and will give me during delivery and to the baby afterwards keeps the probability of her contracting it low.

I wasn’t too concerned…until now. I’m trying not think about it, especially since it’s not likely to happen, but it’s still a scary thought.
