hey there. i had this test and never had strep b but heres what it says in my print out information from my midwife. hope this helps.
Between your 35 and 37th weeks of pregnancy you will be tested for Group B strep or GBS. Group B Strep is a type of bacteria that one to three women carry in their vagina. These bacteria, though benign to women in general, may pose serious and potentially life threatening consequences for your baby during birth. However, with proper screening women who test positive will be treated with an antibiotic during labor to prevent passing these bacteria on to their baby.
Most women who test positive for Group B Strep or GBS will deliver a normal and healthy baby. Without adequate diagnosis and treatment

It's fine. The baby will be okay. The hospital will keep you on antibiotics during delivery so that the baby wont catch an illness from it.
