You'll need IV antibiotics during labor. If you want to remain active in labor, ask them to give it through a heplock. The antibiotics will help to prevent passing the GBS to the baby. Try not to let them break your water. The longer your bag stays intact, the less likely it will be to pass to baby as well. Try to keep cervical checks to a minimum for the same reason, especially if your water has broken.

It will not at all. Since the Dr. knows you tested positive, he will put it in your charts and when you go into labor they will run an antibiotic through your IV and it will prevent the baby from having any symptoms at all. I tested positive for 2 out of my 3 kids. Not sure why, but didn't test positive for my first one. Don't worry - all will be fine - your Dr. should of explained this to you.
Congrats on the baby and good luck - you are getting close.
don't let that other answer scare you - they broke my water all three times and they will check you as needed to see about dilation. The hospital would not do anything to harm you or the baby - they do this often, it is very common. The only time you have to worry is during the actual delivery and if they gave you the antibiotic - then you don't even have to worry then. I promise.

It won't. Since they know you have it, they'll add antibiotics to your IV while you're in labor and delivering which will protect your baby.
It's really common to test positive for GBS. I did, twice, and I know at least 4 other people who did, too.

your provider will give you a course of antibiotics. it is very common, but if left untreated the newborn can get infections from the birth canal during delivery.
