Thank you Suzanne >>Nancy The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends treatment in labor if you are GBS (+). If you know you have broken your water (membranes), call you doctor immediately too. You'll need to be treated for that. If treated now, it may still be there at term and you'll have to be treated anyway.
