I am super “crunchy”, naturopath and 38 weeks pregnant. For context I’m doing a completely natural birth, baby is getting no vaccines, no vitamin k shot, etc. I tested positive for GBS and I am taking the antibiotics. I think it’s better safe than sorry when it comes to risk with GBS. Also, in this case you are getting the antibiotics, not baby directly. I’d highly recommend and then take a good probiotic after

Hi. You have to take the medication. It could cause the baby harm if you don’t. It’s GBS- group b strep.

I’ll be doing the antibiotics ! Thank you all for the responses and support ! It’s really hard when your doctor says it’s a personal choice and up to you because it gives too much room lol… that’s for all the crunchy moms who gave me their perspectives I needed it a lot! 🥰❤️🙏

As a mom sometimes taking medications to help your unborn child who you've been working hard for is worth it 💛

I was a GBS baby! My mom didn’t know she had it, and I was very very sick when I was born. I had to spend a month in NICU, and the doctors gave me a 50/50 chance of living or dying. I would take the antibiotic :)

Get a good probiotic, coconut cult yogurt + digestive enzymes (papaya or pineapple). Apple cider vinegar rinses/baths & herbal steams after birth‼️May God bless you with a safe, peaceful & absolutely heavenly motherhood ♥️

Girl don’t even read most of these comments. They will scare you so much. In Europe, they don’t even test for Gsb. I tested positive and gave birth to my daughter 100 % natural no medical intervention and she was in perfect health. Do not be scared by the comment and judgement from others.

I had gbs and I hated that I had to take medication but it’s a MUST. Everything else I declined. No eye gel no vitamin K no vaccines. It’s to protect you baby from getting any infection from the group b strep.

I feel like this is a time where you put your opinions aside and just take them for the sake of your baby because there’s no way you can 100% rely on natural probiotics in this circumstance. The only reason they’re giving you the option is because you always have a choice to refuse what they recommend.

However, if a mother carries GBS bacteria and passes it to her baby during vaginal childbirth, the bacteria can cause severe or life-threatening infections in the newborn because babies do not yet have a developed immune system.

Labor nurse 🤎 IV antibiotics for gbs+ moms save the newborn from life threatening infection/sepsis. A way to combat the temporary and minimal effect on baby microbiome is to immediately breastfeed after birth. Usually MDs say “up to you” because everything in the hospital is up to you. We can give our medical advice but you can decline anything at anytime.

you could try taking probiotics and retesting closer to your due date, lactobacillus rhasmosus and reuteri can potentially help. i was gbs+ with my first pregnancy and did the antibiotics. i took the probiotics during my second and was negative. it’s not a sure thing but worth a shot!!

Usually they prescribe anti fungal medication for women who are prone to post antibiotic—yeast infections and you have to take both this time. Last thing you want is irreversible or development defects in your infant because of remnant microbes from birth 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sunmere Vale :
Is GBS a normal part of the human microbiome? Yes. GBS is considered part of the normal microbiome in many people. Approximately 10–30% of pregnant women carry GBS. According to the CDC, approximately 1 in 200 babies develops early GBS disease without antibiotics during labor, compared with 1 in 4,000 when antibiotics are administered.

labor and delivery nurse here, i don’t know why you would risk any harm to your baby with the potential of them getting very ill — i would take all precautions necessary to prevent yeast infections and see if you can limit when they start the antibiotics til it is absolutely necessary so you don’t get many doses over your labor course. 2 doses should be adequate tx
