Group B Strep & probiotics

[birthjunkiemom]

I am Group B strep positive for the 1st time. I have some probiotics to take to hopefully lessen the chance of thrush after the baby's born, caused by the antibiotics in labor. I'm just not sure *when* to take it. Should I take it now (I'm 39 weeks), in labor, or right after labor?

All of the above.  Probiotics are good for your body in general.  I would take them daily until you deliver and possibly an extra dose or two in labor.

^^^what she said!  Probiotics are always good, and in that situation, the more the better!
