Thank you for your response. Yes, at 35 weeks, my OB did a cervical culture, and this is what was negative. I just don't understand how I can be a carrier at one point, then suddenly I no longer carry the bacteria. Could it be that it was just in my urinary tract? If that's the case, would it show up in routine urine samples? Thanks again!
