Group B strep test

Results

If you test positive for group B strep, it doesn't mean that you're ill or that your baby will be affected. It simply means you need treatment to prevent an infection in your baby.

Talk with your health care provider about how you'll incorporate your group B strep treatment into your labor plan. It's helpful to remind your health care team of your group B strep status during labor, and to let them know if you're allergic to any medications.
