Re: Strep BFrom: Salvatore Annona (doc@annona.it)Sat Nov 17 05:52:57 2007
Strep B can reach the baby also through the mouth and the nose. Best wishes. Salvatore Annona http://www.annona.it
> ----- Original Message ----- I was able to deliver my son vaginally even though I was strep B positive. The OB started me on IV antibiotics when he induced my labor and my son was fine. On the other hand, I had my daughter via c-section but she still became ill due to the strep B (per the OB). Just to put this in order, I had the c-section first and then the VBAC. I found out I was strep B positive through my daughter becoming sick after the c-section. The only way I know of that it could have been passed to her was through the fetal scalp electrode as it was my understanding that strep B resides in the vagina and that is the way the baby acquires it. Please correct me if I am incorrect on how it is acquired. Thanks, S. Ellerd DMS Student Corpus Christi, TX
