Taking care of yourself with baby on the way.
Answer
Group B strep will probably not cause any problem for the mother or the partner, many, many people carry it, are unaware and never have a problem.
It is almost impossible to get rid of.
The problem arises when the waters go as there is then an open path for the strep to affect the baby.
If this happens, go directly to the hospital and you will be given an antibiotic drip. The antibiotics will pass into the baby and protect it.
If you have the baby very quickly, before the antibiotics get into it, the baby may need antibiotics given after birth, but otherwise you should both be ok.
