TTMA GBS, my culture just came back positive. My concerns are:
Will I have to get to the hospital sooner? I had hoped to labor at home as long as possible (plus I need to figure out childcare for DD).
Will I be able to move around the labor suite if I'm receiving antibiotics?
Anyone have it with a previous pregnancy? I know its not such a big deal more of an annoyance, right?

Didn’t have it with DS1 and had it with DS2. It really was NBD but I’ll be swabbed tomorrow and I’m finding myself hoping I don’t have it so I’m not sure what that means.
I moved around. They just did a port or whatever it’s called.
I progressed quickly so laboring at home didn’t really become a factor but I think they may just want you to call earlier in the process and then they’ll direct you from there.
It was basically a zero factor come delivery day.

I have been GBS+ all 3 times now! I believe the goal is to get one bag of antibiotics in if I remember correctly which takes about an hour on high flow. I am trying to be conscious of that this time as I was only at the hospital 2 hours before DD2 was born and that is only because they put in my epidural when I was basically complete and then had to wait for a doctor to deliver 😬😬 so as far as getting to the hospital sooner, the 5-1-1 (3-1-1? I suppose I should look that up lol) rule still applies. I could have moved freely, my hospital gives IV fluids regardless so it is just one more bag hanging on your IV pole! I hardly even noticed.

Mine was negative but before we got the results my doctor did say that if it was positive I should come in sooner just so they can be ready with the IV port & everything. Otherwise it’s NBD.
