my doctor tested me for a virus he said 1 in 3 pregnant women have and carry for years undetected. He said its not harmful to me but could be to the baby if passed on. the nurse said i would be given antibotics during delivery. what is it called and possibly some background info on it?

Group B Strep. It's not harmful to you, it's normal in a grown woman but can be dangerous to babies. I was GBS positive in 2 of my 4 full term deliveries and never had a problem with my babies at all. Just type Group B Strep into a search engine.

It is called strep B, and it's normal to have, treated very easily and nothing to worry about as long as you do what is directed by your doctor.
