Strep b in urine

Hello! I wonder if anyone else has tested for strep b in urine. I've had a swab a few months and tested positive vaginally but now have it in my urine. Has anyone else had this?

Yes I had that in the beggining of my pregnancy. I got amoxicilin for a week to combat the UTI and then I had antibiotics during labour

Hey! Thank you for your response! I'm so worried about it. I've been given antibiotics for a week and I've got a planned c section. I have no idea how it's gone from my vagina to my bladder

If you are having a c section you will not need antibiotics while labour (I think, but Im not sure). There are many ways that can transfer to urine. Could be when you go to the bathroom and many other reasons. Google explains it much better but we carry gbs in us and can multiply under certain conditions and colonize.

Thank you. I'm just worried that there's some way it's now in my urine that it will get to baby x

UTIs are risky for the baby and you but only if they are left. you are on antibiotics so you will be fine. I was stressed too but nothing happened and my baby is 5 months old now

Same as Lily. I stressed about it so much but I had antibiotics during labour. Baby is now 3 months old and has been fine

Thank you so much for your replies xxxx

4 days in antibiotics and still not cleared!

How do you know it hasnt cleared? I'm sure you will discuss with your doctor, he/she might extend the treatment. Nevertheless I think if you are on antibiotics you are fine, it doesnt always clear straight away and you might need to wait a full week.

Hey. I had another urine test because I had symptoms still. Xx
