If there is additional risk, we recommend antibiotics during delivery. We do this, for example, when GBS has been found in your urine during this pregnancy, if you previously had a baby with GBS disease, in case of fever during delivery, with premature birth (before 37 weeks), or if your membranes have been ruptured for a long time (usually &gt;18 hours).  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In that case, you will deliver in the hospital. You will receive an IV with antibiotics: we start as soon as contractions begin or your membranes rupture and repeat this every 4 hours until birth. In the Haaglanden hospitals, you can often deliver with your own midwife; the nurse or gynecologist arranges the IV and medication. Be sure to also take a look at our final weeks page <a href=\"https:\/\/verloskundigenpraktijkmargriet.nl\/en\/37-42-weeks\/\">37-42 Weeks<\/a>.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Are you allergic to penicillin?

Being GBS-positive is not an STI and you usually notice nothing: no itching, no pain, no abnormal discharge. Carrying GBS can come and go during pregnancy. For you, it is usually harmless, but during delivery the bacterium can sometimes be transmitted to your baby. This can cause an infection in a small percentage of newborns (such as pneumonia or bloodstream infection). With antibiotics during delivery, we significantly reduce this risk. Outside of delivery, treatment is usually not necessary, except when GBS in the urine causes a bladder infection.      <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;abd&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Yeseva One||||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#3c1c20&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;47px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600||||on|||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-13px||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">The Risks of GBS <\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GBS is usually harmless for you, but in rare cases the bacterium can cause an infection in your baby. This happens mainly in the first week after birth (so-called &#8216;early-onset&#8217;), sometimes later in the first three months (&#8216;late-onset&#8217;). Without antibiotics during delivery when there are risk factors, this chance is higher. A GBS infection can manifest as blood poisoning (sepsis), pneumonia, or meningitis. After birth, watch for signs such as lethargy, poor feeding, rapid or grunting breathing, a grayish color, fever, or low temperature. If you see this, call your midwife or the hospital immediately.     <\/p>\n<p>The good news: with quick recognition and treatment, most babies recover completely. For you as a mother, GBS without treatment can sometimes cause a bladder infection, and after delivery a uterine or wound infection (for example after a cesarean section). Therefore, we recommend antibiotics during delivery when there is reason to do so according to policy; this way you significantly reduce the risk for your baby and also minimize your own chance of complications.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;abe&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Yeseva One||||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#3c1c20&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;47px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600||||on|||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-13px||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Care for your Baby after Birth<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After birth, we monitor your baby extra carefully.

Practical matters may vary slightly per hospital (for example, ward or discharge criteria), but the policy is the same everywhere. We document your personal plan in advance in your file, so everyone knows what to do and the best care can be provided.   <\/p>\n<p>Do you have doubts when your delivery starts or with ruptured membranes and you are GBS-positive? Call us immediately, so we can start the antibiotics on time. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_2,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1400px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;abi&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Yeseva One||||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#3c1c20&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;47px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|||||on|||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Is GBS an STI or &quot;Contagious Disease&quot; for My Environment?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>No. Being GBS-positive (or carrier of the GBS virus) is part of the normal flora of many people and has nothing to do with sexual transmission.
