What happens if you have group B strep during pregnancy?
Imagine a hidden adversary lurking within you, threatening the most precious of lives. Enter group B strep (GBS), a bacterium that can silently reside in your body during pregnancy, posing a significant risk to your unborn child. If left undetected, GBS can unleash a devastating storm upon your baby after birth, causing severe infections that can impact their health and well-being. The consequences of a GBS infection during pregnancy can be as profound as premature labor, birth defects, serious illness, and even the unimaginable – infant mortality. It’s a battle that calls for vigilance, understanding, and prompt action to safeguard the future of your little one.
