Hello everyone:
I am 9 weeks along today (yay!) and had my first OB appt last week. My doctor called this morning to tell me that they found Group B Strep in my urine from last week. He is putting me on antibiotics today for this. I have never heard of women having this treated until later in the 3rd trimester or during labor. Is this something I should be worried about?
I just want everything to work out because I had an ectopic pregnancy back in August. I just pray to God it will all be okay.
Thank you!

Usually they administer antibiotics during labor because if they treat it now, the chance of nodes re-developing is pretty common. I would ask if your doctor intends to run you through a course of antibiotics during labor as well.

B-strep usually isn't tested for until 3rd trimester. If your dr found it in the urine sample, then it sounds like he's on top of it. Don't worry. As long as your dr is taking care of it, you (and your baby) should be fine.

Sounds like your doctor is on target. Just make sure to request the antibiotic right before delivery. That is the most crucial time for it.
